You have made known to us, O our God, what you expect of us,nothing other than to do justice, love kindness, and walk faithfully with you.
We pray, give us a whole heart!
Where concern for appearances prevents any true encounterfree us from our pride.
We pray, give us a whole heart!
Where the power of weapons takes precedence over human life,free us from our tyrannies.
We pray, give us a whole heart!
Where poverty dehumanises and erodes the hope of entire populations,free us from our indifference.
We pray, give us a whole heart!
