Ever-present God, you never forsake your own. In hope we pray:
Be with us, O God.
Lead us to be hospitable to one another and live in harmony with all creation.
Be with us, O God.
Give humble, listening hearts and minds to those entrusted with authority and decision making for the common good.
Be with us, O God.
Help us secure medical and physical services for veterans and their families.
Be with us, O God.
Our Father . . .
May almighty God supply with us the graces we need to live the Good News, through Jesus, our light and hope. Amen.
