Awaken us to the ways in which we might bring comfort and healing to others.  

God, in your providential care, hear our prayer. 

Transform our woundedness into strength and compassion.  

God, in your providential care, hear our prayer. 

Safeguard military women and men, political prisoners, and all who are in danger.  

God, in your providential care, hear our prayer. 

Our Father . . . 

May God shelter and guard us through the protective care of the angels, now and always. Amen.
