Joyful God, you delight in your faithful daughters and sons. In hope we pray:

Receive our prayer, O God.

You rid the world of evil: thwart plots of destruction and corruption, and help us establish justice and peace.

Receive our prayer, O God.

Your Word is sweeter than honey: enlighten us to know the hope that is ours in Christ Jesus.

Receive our prayer, O God.

You satisfy the hungry heart: guide those who seek you in the Scriptures, Sacraments, and the silence of their hearts.

Receive our prayer, O God.

Our Father . . .

May God strengthen us, help us in time of need, and nurture our hope, through Jesus and by the power of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
