Sunday Prayer

After the week's election, I'm reminded of a prayer from Kung,

Guardian of our destiny,
bless the leaders and rulers of the nations,
that they may not covet power and glory
but act responsibly
for the welfare and peace of humankind.
 
Guide our religious communities and those set over them,
that they may not only proclaim the message of peace
but also show it in their lives.
 
And to all of us, and to those who do not worship among us,
give your grace, mercy, and all good things,
and lead us, God of the living,
on the right way to your eternal glory. Amen.
