I purchased a little booklet of prayers over the weekend, titled "Devotions to the Holy Spirit" and compiled by Jesuit priest Brian Moore.
This prayer, titled simply "For Unity" is catching at my heart right now:
One only Spirit of Father and Son
in whom all are baptized,
of whom all have drunk;
one Giver of many gifts,
one Tree of many fruits,
one Speaker of every tongue,
renew in our day
the wonders of Pentecost.
Grant that people of every race and nation
may understand one another,
and, as one, proclaim
the praises of God.
Grant that all may be one
as you, Spirit, with the Father and the Son
are one God, one Lord.
Grant unity to the Body of Christ;
grant unity to the human family.
Sole breath of every living thing,
may all be one who, in you,
live and move and have their being.
