God of Community,
encompassing all that was, that is and that can be,
who brings to birth each precious being in your creation;
we thank you for our capacity to love,
and for your love poured out on us.
We pray for your blessing on our LGBTQIA+ Community.
May our Common Life be enriched by their presence,
and blessed by their gifts.
Grant us Grace and Humility to heal past hurts,
and transform us,
that together we may take our place in your Kingdom.
