God of the living, by the cross of Christ death no longer has power over us. In hope we pray: 

Have mercy on us, O God.  

Shine a light of understanding on political conflicts, and give wisdom to our leaders for the building of unity and peace. 

Have mercy on us, O God.  

Restore life and stability to countries ravaged by war, disaster, or climate change. 

Have mercy on us, O God.  

Grant eternal life to all who have died. 

Have mercy on us, O God.  

Our Father . . .  

May God strengthen our hearts in love and guide us in the ways of truth, by the power and grace of Christ. Amen.
