Father God, who has created all people in your image, we thank you for the infinite variety of human life. We meet with many different people and can recognise their individuality, skills and talents. If we remember your creative force we catch glimpses of your nature in those we encounter day by day.

Help us to remember that all people are our brothers and sisters and carry your reflection within them. Guide is to appreciate diversity and not to dismiss those who are different from ourselves. Give us tolerance and understanding in our care for others.

In the name of Jesus. Amen.
