Almighty God, whose will it is that brethren should dwell together in unity: Receive these our prayers, and grant us such single-mindedness, courage and patience, that in face of all difficulties and temptation to despair, we may work with confidence for the unity of thy Church, and the coming on earth of thy kingdom. And to this end, O Lord, we offer to thee our hearts and minds and strength in obedience to thy Son, Jesus Christ our Lord.
