Gracious God, each day you welcome us as we are. In hope we pray: 

God, in your goodness, hear our prayer.  

Give peace and hope to those who experience loneliness, discouragement, or lack of energy. 

God, in your goodness, hear our prayer.  

Transform us by your life-giving Spirit, and open your Church to conversion. 

God, in your goodness, hear our prayer. 

Break down social and psychological barriers that divide human beings from one another. 

God, in your goodness, hear our prayer. 

Our Father . . .  

May God strengthen us to forsake foolishness and advance in the way of understanding, through Jesus, the Wisdom of God. Amen.
