Mighty God, you cast down the mighty and raise up the lowly. In hope we pray:  Save us, O God. 

Direct our leaders and elected officials toward paths of justice and peace.  

Help us turn from speech that incites hatred and ridicules those who are vulnerable.  

Uphold efforts to stop drug trafficking, and heal those who struggle with substance abuse.  

Our Father . . . 

May God live in us through grace and the Holy Spirit and fill our hearts with joy, in Jesus’ name.

Amen.
