Living God, your kingdom of peace and justice lasts forever. With longing for your sovereign reign we pray: God, in your mercy, hear us.
Inspire parish councils and clergy to find ways to provide meaningful faith formation for their members.
Give justice to those who have lost their jobs, and lead all people to find meaningful employment.
Help us to protect the well-being and dignity of immigrants, migrants, refugees, and detainees.
Our Father . . .
May God lead us from fear to trust and from discord to peace, through Jesus our brother.
Amen.
