Prayer:

O God of peace, good beyond all that is good,
in whom calmness and concord:  
do Thou make up the dissensions
which divide us from one another  
and bring us into unity of love in Thee,
 through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

Dionysius of Alexandria

Food for thought:

“Good works can hardly be done without suffering,yet the suffering of the saints is nourished by great hope. For nothing earthly is promised but rather eternal glory.”

Cyril of Alexandria, from Explanation of the Letter to the Romans

Both the prayer and the food for thought come from the Pentecost entry of Ancient Christian Devotional : A Year of Weekly Readings for Lectionary Cycle C edited by Thomas Oden and Cindy Corsby (IVP/Formatio, 2009)
