Come, O Shepherd,
gather your wayward sheep
and lead us into your light!
Blessed Savior, we turn to you,
for you have humbled yourself and entered time
to guide us into life abundant.
You made the tyrants tremble on their thrones,
O Love Incarnate:
teach us to resist the forces of evil, oppression, and warfare,
and grant us the will
to overturn the systems of desperation
that seek to bind us through fear and division.
Help us to seek peace and restoration
through justice, integrity, and compassion,
protecting the most vulnerable among us
and loving each other in your name.
Grant your protection, O God,
to all who stand in harms's way,
and give us the wisdom to seek your light for our path
and to dedicate ourselves to being transformed by your love.
Extend the arms of your mercy, O Holy One,
over all who place their need before You,
especially those we now name.
Amen.
