| A Prayer for Peace &
Justice
God, source of all light,
we are surrounded by the darkness of
the injustices experienced by your people,
the poor who are hungry and
who search for shelter,
the sick who seek relief,
and the downtrodden
who seek help in their hopelessness.
Surround us and fill us with your Spirit
who is Light.
Lead us in your way to be light
to your people.
Help our parish to be salt for our community
as we share your love with those caught
in the struggles of life.
We desire to be your presence to the least among us
and to know your presence in them as
we work through you
to bring justice and peace to this world
in desperate need.
We ask this through our Lord
Jesus Christ,
your Son, who lives and reigns
with you and the Holy Spirit,
one God, for ever and ever. Amen. |
