God of grace, May our hearts yearn for what is true May we acknowledge what we know to be true, even if it defies visual evidence. May we be truth-tellers tempered with kindness and mercy. May we honor peacemakers and those with integrity. May we dig deep in discernment. May we be people of courage and compassion. amen
