This prayer was an insert in our Saint Nicholas Catholic Church Sunday bulletin on Jan. 8. Perhaps the prayer could help diffuse the hatred in our community.
``Loving God, creator of all, we recognize that life is a gift from you. Open our hearts to your Holy Spirit and renew in us a deep respect for all persons: the family; the unborn; the young; the adult; the sick; the abused; the imprisoned; the aged; the dying; the homeless unemployed; and the oppressed in any way.
Bless all of us, and instill in us a deep love for your gift of life.''
