God bless my eyes, that I may recognise injustice or neglect. God bless my ears, that I may hear the cry of the persecuted. God bless my mouth, that I may speak words of welcome to newcomers. God bless my shoulders, that I may bear the weight of providing protection and rebuilding lives. God bless my hands, that I may work together with all people to establish a just and lasting peace. God bless my heart, that I may be transformed into a speaker of truth, justice and love. Amen NCCA 2007 (adapted)
