Collect: Almighty God, we thank you for the gift of freedom and the principles of justice that underpin democracy. As we navigate the complexities of governance, grant us the wisdom to root our systems in fairness, compassion, and equality. May our pursuit of democracy be guided by faith, humility, and a commitment to serving the common good. We ask for the guidance of your Holy Spirit to instill in us a spirit of justice, empathy, and wisdom. Through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, world without end. Amen.
