God of the living, you made St. Ignatius a worthy bishop of your flock.
In company with him we pray: Faithful
God, hear our prayer.
Inspire your Church’s preferential option for the poor and advocacy for the eradication of poverty.
Uphold efforts to address violence with nonviolent protest and action.
Protect military men and women, and rejoin them with their families.
Our Father . . .
May God strengthen our faith in Jesus and lead us to pray always by the power of the Spirit.
Amen.
