Merciful God, your law of love is the source of life. In trust we pray: ℟. Shine your loving gaze on us, O God.
Free us from the paralyzing power of doubts, and give us certainty of your unconditional love. ℟.
Comfort and console those who are worn down by grief, sadness, or exhaustion. ℟.
Deliver those who are entrapped by the pressure of gangs, bullies, or politics. ℟.
Our Father . . .
May God strengthen us in hope and balance our sorrows with joy, through Jesus the Sun of Justice. Amen.
