God, the father of the forsaken, the help of the weak, the supplier of the needy; you teach us that love towards the race of man is the bond of perfectness, and the immigation of your blessed self. Open and touch our hearts that we may see and do, both for this world and that which is to come, the things that belong to our peace. Strengthen us in the work which we have undertaken; give us wisdom, perserverance, faith and zeal, and in your own time and according to your pleasure prosper the issue; for the love of your son Jesus Christ.
From eerdnans book of famous prayers, 1983.
