Righteous God, your ways are upright and true. In hope we pray:

God, in your justice, give us life.  

For orphans of war, tragedy, and natural disaster, we pray:  

     God, in your justice, give us life.  

For those in labor camps, prison farms, and trafficking rings, we pray:  

     God, in your justice, give us life.  

For those whose lives are devalued, disregarded, or exploited by the cruelty of others, we pray:  

     God, in your justice, give us life.  

Our Father . . .  

May God show us the way to life and the fullness of joy, through Jesus, the Word of God. Amen.
