God of heaven and earth, in Christ you show us the dept of your love. With longing we pray: Let us abide in your love, O God.
Help us to extend assistance and hospitality to those with special needs.
Give us courage to stand in solidarity with those who suffer injustice.
Deepen the bonds of care and respect within families and in all our relationships.
Our Father . . .
May God bless us and fill us with a spirit of kindness, simplicity, and reconciliation, through Jesus Christ our Savior.
Amen.
