Giver of new mercies, you are our joy and our song. In hope we pray: God of faithful love, hear our prayer.
Help us to welcome spring with attention to your lifegiving Word and its presence in all creation.
Open our hearts toward those who are frail or in need of love and care.
Give all parents love for their children, and expand support resources for families in need of economic or emotional assistance.
Our Father . . .
May God clear our sight with wisdom’s light and guide us into the ways of peace, through Jesus our brother.
Amen.
