Creator God, you established the earth upon its foundation. Renew our sense of wonder and awe as we pray:

God, in your wisdom, receive our prayer.

Give support, insight, and holy perseverance to those who are studying for the diaconate, religious life, or priesthood.

        God, in your wisdom, receive our prayer.

Advance efforts to ensure that women in crisis pregnancies get the counseling, medical care, and financial assistance that they need.

        God, in your wisdom, receive our prayer.

Wrap your peace around those who die alone.

        God, in your wisdom, receive our prayer.

Our Father . . .

May the God of our ancestors, who raised Jesus from the dead, bless us with wise and loving hearts. Amen.
