God of the covenant, you are forever present. On this Memorial Day, we remember those who have died in service to us and our country as we pray:
God, in your loving-kindness, hear our prayer.
Inspire us to find constructive and nonviolent ways to end hatred and violence.
God, in your loving-kindness, hear our prayer.
Open our hearts to care for refugees, immigrants, and migrants.
God, in your loving-kindness, hear our prayer.
Grant healing, provision, and support to veterans and their families.
God, in your loving-kindness, hear our prayer.
Our Father . . .
May the peace of Christ reign in our hearts, now and forever.
Amen.
