The hatred which divides nation from nation,
race from race, class from class,
Father forgive.
The covetous desires of men and nations
to possess what is not their own,
Father, forgive.
The greed which exploits the labours of men,
and lays waste the earth,
Father, forgive.
Our envy of the welfare and happiness of others,
Father, forgive.
Our indifference to the plight of the homeless
and the refugee,
Father, forgive.
The pride which leads to trust in ourselves
and not in God,
Father, forgive. Amen...
Coventry Cathedral Prayer (1962)
