O God of all Humanity,
You taught us in the book of Genesis that all of humankind is descended from a single person. There are those who say that you did this so that no one could say "my father is greater than your father." By this, we are taught that we are all brothers and sisters, all of us part of the same human family, with a shared destiny.
Our founding fathers affirmed this belief that all men are created equal in our Declaration of Independence. And yet, in each generation, we continue to be in pursuit of making this belief a reality, for men and women, of every color, every religion, and every ethnicity.
May we be ever mindful of all that binds us, finding compassion in our hearts for all people, and always striving to treat each other with dignity and respect.
May this be God`s will.-AMEN.
