A Prayer of Commemoration
for Australian Federation

 Lord of every time and place,
God beyond our dreaming,
you have brought us through one hundred years of Federation
to the Commonwealth we share.

We thank you for peaceable government,
for public and community service,
and for the distinctive character of each State and Territory.

Weave us together as one,
that we may delight in diversity,
embody the common good,
and show generosity to all.

Bless this nation, we pray,
and make us a blessing to all peoples,
through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
