God of mystery, through the mystical writings of St. Bernard we come to greater understanding of the depth of your love. In company with him we pray:
Lead us to your light, O God.
Give the Pope and all ministers in your Church the gifts of wisdom, understanding, and openness to the Spirit.
Lead us to your light, O God
Inspire just immigration laws and practices, and safeguard all who are fleeing from danger or seeking a better life.
Lead us to your light, O God
Strengthen and support health-care workers and all who suffer illness and its long-term effects.
Lead us to your light, O God
Our Father . . .
May God lead us to love tenderly, act justly, and pray always, through the power of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
