Merciful God, you raise us from the depths and give us life. In hope we pray: ℟. Listen and forgive, O God.
Uphold and direct efforts to address and end sexual abuse and misconduct within the Church. ℟.
Restore life to those who have suffered starvation, devastation, and death because of war. ℟.
Unite people of faith in efforts to lessen pollution, waste, and deforestation. ℟.
Our Father . . .
May God bless us, be gracious to us, and keep us forever in peace, through Jesus the Light of the World. Amen.
