Today is the inauguration of the 46th President of the United States of America. Let us pray.

Almighty and most merciful God, look, we pray, with compassion on Joseph R. Biden, Jr. and Kamala Harris, who take up the responsibilities of President and Vice-President of the United States this day. Give them your gifts of wisdom, patience, and inner strength to make honest, just, and loving decisions as they seek to guide the people whom you have given into their care in the way of peace and co-operation. May fear and hatred become less and less in the hearts of their people, and may they all, according to their individual gifts, work together to build a Nation grounded in equality and respect for the dignity of every human being; this we pray in the Name of your only Son, Jesus Christ our Lord and Saviour. Amen.
