Bless our beautiful land, O Lord, with its wonderful variety of people, of races, cultures, languages.  May we be a nation of laughter and joy, of justice and reconciliation, of peace and unity, of compassion, caring and sharing.  We pray this prayer for a true patriotism in the powerful name of the Lord our God.—AMEN.                                                                                                                                     _{(By Archbishop Desmond Tutu)}
