Loving Counselor, you never abandon those who hope in you. In confidence we pray: O God, come to our aid. 

Strengthen your Church to extend love and mercy to those who are alienated from their faith communities 

O God, come to our aid. 

Help us to ensure that refugee and immigrant children have access to good education and health care 

O God, come to our aid. 

Advance education and understanding of structural racism 

O God, come to our aid. 

Our Father . . . 

May God deliver us from fear and turn our sadness into joy, through Jesus our Redeemer. Amen.
