Gracious God, you are our stronghold. In faith we pray:
℟. God, make haste to help us.

Prosper efforts to end all forms of torture and all
provocations of violence or war. ℟.

Help us to speak a word of hope to those who are
troubled, weary, or discouraged. ℟.

Safeguard travelers, pilgrims, and transportation
workers. ℟.

Our Father . . .

May the blessing of the Lord be upon us as we prepare to
enter the Paschal Triduum. Amen.
