Almighty God,
we give you thanks for this day,
and turn to you for strength and guidance
as we seek to be your hands and heart in the world.
We confess to you our sins and offenses:
forgive, O God of Mercy,
that we may make recompense to those we've wronged,
and be guided instead by charity and kindness.
Help us embody compassion and reassurance,
and be the healing hands of Jesus
to those who are anxious, isolated, or afraid.
Lead us, O Savior, into solidarity and empathy,
and place our common welfare
at the center of all we do.
Spirit of God, inspire us;
make us beacons of love and hope
and a priestly people in a hurting world.
Grant the balm of your peace and comfort
on all who turn to You, O God of All,
especially those whom we now name.
Amen.
