Loving God, you fill all creation with the fullness of life. In trust we pray: ℟. God, in your compassion, hear our prayer.
Root your Church in justice and love, and direct her righteous anger toward goodness and truth. ℟.
Turn our eyes to the peripheries, and help us recognize strangers and those in need as brothers and sisters. ℟.
Prosper efforts to release hostages and those who are unjustly imprisoned or held captive. ℟.
Our Father . . .
May God bless us, receive our prayers, and favor us with love and mercy, through Jesus our Savior. Amen.
