Lord, we come before you as we are.

We ask you to take away from us

all that makes us less than human.

Strengthen us with the power of your Spirit

that our attitude and outlook may develop,

and our “way of looking”

may become more like yours.

 

Help us to remain positive –

encouraging and appreciating one another,

looking upon people in the same way that you do.

 

Amen.

 

– De La Salle Brothers
