Ever-living God, in Christ you make all things new. With trust we pray: God, in your love, hear us.
Help us to seek and pursue the peace of Christ.
God, in your love, hear us.
Guide parents, teachers, and guardians.
God, in your love, hear us.
Fulfill your promise of eternal life for those who have died with their hope fixed on you.
God, in your love, hear us.
Our Father . . .
May God strengthen us to remain in Christ through all the trials and difficulties of our lives, by the grace and power of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
