God of our ancestors, in Jesus you lead us out of the shadow of death. With confidence we pray: Rescue us, O God.
Enlighten us to hold the precious gift of human life in highest esteem.
Rescue us, O God.
Prosper efforts to combat drug trafficking and organized crime.
Rescue us, O God.
Protect the homeless and all who feel unsafe tonight.
Rescue us, O God.
Our Father . . .
May God bless us with listening hearts and hopeful spirits so that we may hear and heed the voice of the Lord and respond in love for one another. Amen.
