Gracious God, Wisdom calls us to seek you. In gratitude we pray:

Increase our understanding, O God.

Lead us to deeper encounter with Christ.

Increase our understanding, O God.

Enlighten your Church to effectively respond to violence and injustice.

Increase our understanding, O God.

Heal intolerance of religious identities, cultures, and belief systems.

Increase our understanding, O God.

Our Father . . .

May the Word of God lead us to right relationship with our brothers and sisters and all of creation, by the power of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
