If we could really believe this and apply it today...

"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness..."

"Father of the family of nations, open our hearts to greater love of you Son.

Grant that the boundaries of nations will not

set limits to our love and give us the courage to build a land that serves you in truth and justice.

Grant this through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit,

God, for ever and ever. Amen."
