Ps. 80; Ps. 77 [79]; Judges 6:25–40; Acts 2:37–47; John 1:1–18

Psalm 80Shine forth, O God, restore us; we have punished us; we forsake you; restore us Lord; tend this vine that you have planted; be with our ruler; make it so we do not turn from you.

Acts 2
Peter proclaimed the gospel; 3,000 were baptized; they lived with everything in common and prayed and heard the stories of the Apostles.

John 1
The Word was always with God; the Light comes; John the Baptist came to proclaim the light; God had the word become flesh and wandered with us; we have received grace from the Son.

Eternal God, in whose perfect kingdom no sword is drawn but the sword of righteousness, no strength known but the strength of love: So mightily spread abroad your Spirit, that all peoples may be gathered under the banner of the Prince of Peace, as children of one Father; to whom be dominion and glory, now and for ever. Amen. (Prayer for Peace, p. 815)

Almighty God our heavenly Father, guide the nations of the world into the way of justice and truth, and establish among them that peace which is the fruit of righteousness, that they may become the kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Amen. (Prayer for Peace Among the Nations, p. 816)

O God, you have bound us together in a common life. Help us, in the midst of our struggles for justice and truth, to confront one another without hatred or bitterness, and to work together with mutual forbearance and respect; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen. (Peace in Times of Conflict, p. 824)
