And we pray that all unity will one day be restored.

yes, they'll know we are Christians by our love.
We will walk with each other, we will walk hand in hand;
We will walk with each other, we will walk hand in hand;
And together we'll spread the news that God is in our land. (Repeat Refrain)
We will work with each other, we will work side by side;
We will work with each other, we will work side by side;
And we'll guard each one’s dignity and save each one's pride. (Repeat Refrain)
All praise to the Father, from whom all things come;
And all praise to Christ Jesus, His only Son.
And all praise to the Spirit who makes us one. (Repeat Refrain)

Silent Adoration/Reflection
Chaplet of Divine Mercy
Opening Prayers (all): You expired, Jesus, but the source of life gushed forth for souls, and the ocean of mercy opened up for the whole world.
O Fount of Life, unfathomable Divine Mercy, envelop the whole world and empty Yourself out upon us.
O Blood and Water, which gushed forth from the Heart of Jesus as a fount of mercy for us, I trust in You! (Said three times)
Our Father ...
Hail Mary ...
The Apostles’ Creed: I believe in God, the Father almighty, Creator of heaven and earth, and in Jesus Christ, His only Son, our Lord,
who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate,
was crucified, died and was buried;
He descended into hell;
on the third day He rose again from the dead;
He ascended into heaven, and is seated at the right hand of God the Father almighty;
from there He will come to judge the living and the dead.
I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy catholic Church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and life everlasting.
Amen.

Leader: Eternal Father, I offer you the Body and Blood, Soul and Divinity of Your Dearly Beloved Son, Our Lord, Jesus Christ,
All: in atonement for our sins and those of the whole world.
For each bead of the Decade:
Leader: For the sake of His sorrowful Passion,
All: have mercy on us and on the whole world.
After Five Decades :
(all): Holy God, Holy Mighty One, Holy Immortal One, have mercy on us and on the whole world. (Said three times)
Closing prayer (all):
Eternal God, in whom mercy is endless and the treasury of compassion inexhaustible, look kindly upon us and increase Your mercy in us, that in difficult moments we might not despair nor become despondent, but with great confidence submit ourselves to Your holy will, which is Love and Mercy itself
