Liberating God, you display your faithful love to all who call upon you in trust. We humbly pray: Lead us to your light, O God.
Help your Church attend to the needs of the poor, the orphan, and the widow.
Lead us to your light, O God.
Anoint world leaders with peaceful and wise hearts, and prosper the work of justice and peace.
Lead us to your light, O God.
Instill deacons, priests, and bishops with love for the people they serve.
Lead us to your light, O God.
Our Father . . .
May God, who blessed St. Lawrence with a love for the poor, make us loving and just in every way, by the power of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
