God, may we hear your prayer, that we may all claim one another as beautiful and beloved siblings in your great family. May we hear your desperate cries for love and celebration of all of our bodies as sacred creations of yours, modeled in your image, in the beautiful diversity of colors, shapes, genders, sexual identities, personalities, and expressions of your love manifested.
