Ever-present God, you are the praise of all who seek you. In hope we pray: 

Show us mercy, God.  

Strengthen your Church to preserve the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace. 

Show us mercy, God.  

Expand our concern for the full-flourishing of the earth and all her creatures. 

Show us mercy, God.  

Give humility, discernment, and integrity to those responsible for the court of law. 

Show us mercy, God.  

Our Father . . .  

May God look upon us with favor and give success to the work of our hands and hearts, through Jesus our Savior. Amen.
