Wondrous God, you have done great things for us. We ponder your works and pray:
Fulfill our hope for your help, O God.
You defend widows and orphans: heal women, men, and children who suffer loss because of natural disaster or human tragedy.
Fulfill our hope for your help, O God.
You give the homeless a home: make your Church a place where all find welcome, hospitality, and love.
Fulfill our hope for your help, O God.
You lead prisoners forth in prosperity: relieve the suffering of the oppressed, and renew their lives in hope and freedom.
Fulfill our hope for your help, O God.
Our Father . . .
May God bless us with joy in the Holy Spirit and crown our hearts with the peace of Jesus. Amen.
