Merciful God of our ancestors, with a word you created all things.
In hope we pray: God, come to our aid.
Strengthen your Church in grace and holiness, and help us proclaim your reign through justice and
charity.
Sensitize us to the needs of children who suffer trauma from conflict, displacement, and malnutrition.
Advance accessibility to essential services for people with disabilities.
Our Father . . .
May God strengthen us in faith, and may the love of Jesus keep us from fearfulness, by the power of the
Holy Spirit.
Amen.
