With confidence, we turn to God with our needs, to God who hears the cry of the poor.
  • That leaders and followers in the Church bear witness to love of neighbor as did the good Samaritan, let us pray to the Lord: 
  • That world leaders work toward peace, and assist victims of war and strife, let us pray to the Lord: 
  • That individuals and communities treat the earth gently, and preserve its beauty and richness for future generations, let us pray to the Lord: 
  • That all people have access to affordable health care, education, and housing, let us pray to the Lord: 
  • That all members of this church welcome the stranger, shelter the homeless, and build a community of love, let us pray to the Lord: 
Saving God, your mercy heals the wounds of the world. Hear and answer the prayers we offer, in the name of your Son, Jesus Christ our Lord, Amen.
