Compassionate God, you are forever with us in our sorrow and in our joy. In hope we pray: ℟. God, in your mercy, hear our prayer.
Heal those who suffer from betrayal of their trust or sexual abuse. ℟.
Inspire greater action in environmental sustainability and care for the earth. ℟.
Break the power of leaders who disregard innocent and vulnerable people. ℟.
Our Father . . .
May we prefer nothing to the love of Christ, and may he bring us together to everlasting life. Amen.
