Holy God, you alone are worthy of all praise and honor. In faith we pray: Show us mercy, O God.

Come to the aid of small businesses and those who have lost their livelihood due to the pandemic.

        Show us mercy, O God.

Prosper and sustain efforts to build peaceful and just communities of faith.

        Show us mercy, O God.

Give eternal life and peace to those who met death by violence.

        Show us mercy, O God.

Our Father . . .

May God be gracious and bless us and animate us to encourage one another in love and good works, through Jesus, our brother. Amen.
