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.
