Beneficent God, you bless us with an abundance of grace through Jesus your Son. In faith we pray: God of salvation, hear our prayer.
You rescue the needy when they cry: reunite families who are separated by war, political unrest, or disaster.
God of salvation, hear our prayer.
You defend those who have no one to help: uphold emergency aid efforts to those who have need of supplies, medical assistance, and shelter.
God of salvation, hear our prayer.
You crush the oppressor: help us to end terrorism, genocide, and war.
God of salvation, hear our prayer.
Our Father . . .
May God strengthen us by the power of the Holy Spirit to believe in the name of Jesus and to love one another as Jesus commanded. Amen.
