All-powerful God, your law revives the soul. Accept our prayers of praise and hear us as we say: God, in your goodness, come to our aid.  

Give patience, inspiration, and good zeal to liturgists, pastors, and music ministers.  

God, in your goodness, come to our aid. 

Protect and provide for the needs of orphans and children who are abandoned.  

God, in your goodness, come to our aid. 

Guard the welfare of active-duty service members and reservists who are called to serve.  

God, in your goodness, come to our aid. 

Our Father . . .  

May God bless us, be gracious to us, and protect us from harm, through Jesus our brother. 

 Amen.
