God of Hope and Justice, You taught us to love and not seek revenge, to hope and not despair, and to have compassion not indifference. You created us to love and to liberate the world from apathy, injustice and war. Help us develop the will to live together in just peace. Embolden us to work so that Your love becomes the culture of the world.
