Lord, creator of every creature, your love extends to all people, regardless of sex, race, class, color, or type of sin. Let our love be as wide as yours, and not shown only to those who are like us. Make us see the lowly who do not appear on the world's radar. Let us not be reticent to preach to the high and proud. Let us see every person as a soul to be won for the Kingdom and for eternal life with you. For Jesus also spoke to kings and governors, as well as to those of humble circumstances. Amen.
