Holy Wisdom, your Son rejoiced in the friendship of Martha, Mary, and Lazarus. With hope in the love and communion that friendship bears we pray: God, in your love, hear our prayer.
Fashion your Church to be a place of welcome and a sanctuary of hope for all people.
God, in your love, hear our prayer.
Help us to show appreciation, affection, and supportive love to our friends.
God, in your love, hear our prayer.
Bless those who feed others, and help us to support healthy farming and a just distribution of food.
God, in your love, hear our prayer.
Our Father . . .
May God bless us with every gift of the Spirit so that we may lavishly share the love of Jesus with one another. Amen.
