This morning my prayer book yielded a postworthy one...

"You have quieted those which were in confusion. Praise to your calmness! O Lord make quiet in your chruches; and blend and unite, O Lord, the contentious sects; and still, and rule also the conflicting parties, and may there be at every time one true church, and may her righteous children gather themselves together to confess your graciousness. Praise to your reconciliation, O Lord God."
- St. Ephraem the Syrian, 4th century
