O Lord, Creator of all,

Help me to see Your image in the people around me. Free me from disdain and ridicule, from distrust and suspicion. Free me from feelings of superiority and self-righteousness. May I see Your image in those around me.

Make me an instrument of Your peace. Make me a courier of joy and hope, of life and salvation, of goodness and love.

Fill me with Your Spirit and may I ever follow His lead.

I ask in the name of Christ, through Your Spirit.

Amen.
