Forgiving God, you surround us with cries of deliverance.
In faith we pray: Save us from distress, O God.
Strengthen your Church’s advocacy for immigrants and refugees, and help us be a sign of hope for the coming of your kingdom.
Have mercy on those who suffer oppression, and help us bring justice to our world.
Heal and restore the spirits of those who mourn.
Our Father . . .
May God bless us and renew our hearts and minds in Jesus our Savior.
Amen.
