God of the living, in Jesus you redeem humankind from all its iniquities. With joy we pray: God, in your loving mercy, hear us.
Forgive the sins of your Church and direct her to advocate justice for all who have suffered trauma or abuse.
God, in your loving mercy, hear us.
Help us to recognize the face of Christ in those who are homeless, poor, young, or elderly.
God, in your loving mercy, hear us.
Give comfort and hope to those who are long-suffering.
God, in your loving mercy, hear us.
Our Father . . .
May God bless us with lasting freedom and unending joy in Jesus, our resurrection and life. Amen
