"Give us oh God the vision that can see Thy love in the world despite human failure. Give us the faith to trust Thy goodness in spite of our ignorance and weakness. Give us the knowledge that we may continue to pray with understanding hearts, and show us what each one of us can do to set forth the coming of the day of universal peace." Broadcast back to earth by astronaut Frank Borman on board Apollo 10 while orbiting the moon on Christmas Day 1968.
