Jesus and children of many races and ages
To call God "Our Father" is to call all creation our brother and sister. The Lord's Prayer invites us into relationship, affirming the beauty and possibilities inherent in diversity. In other words: Different is not bad. Different is instead a beautiful creation of God's own making.
Collect
O God, you have made of one blood all the peoples of the earth, and sent your blessed Son to preach peace to those who are far off and to those who are near: Grant that people everywhere may seek after you and find you; bring the nations into your fold; pour out your Spirit upon all flesh; and hasten the coming of your kingdom; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen
