Sheltering God, you are our refuge in times of distress. In hope we pray: ℟. Ever-faithful God, hear our prayer.
You counsel our hearts: Give wisdom, counsel, and courage to teachers, students, and those involved with spiritual formation in parishes. ℟.
You save us in our affliction: Heal those who are
controlled by addiction of any kind. ℟.
You redeem us in love: Help us to end all wars and to live as brothers and sisters in Christ. ℟.
Our Father . . .
May the love of Christ, which surpasses all we can imagine, lead us to rejoice in the saving power of God, now and always. Amen.
