Most Merciful God,
we offer you our gratitude and praise
for your blessings without number,
and ask your guidance
as we seek to live by your dream for us,
led by wisdom and integrity.
Help us renounce our acquiescence
to the path of casual corruption,
commonplace cruelties,
and collateral damage.
Give us the courage to tear down the edifices of power
built on the false gospel
that success for the few
must be leveraged upon the suffering of the many.
Bring us instead, O Holy One,
to a renewed commitment to live by your word
and walk in your ways,
to lend our aid to the oppressed and the hurting,
and to make common cause
with those who stand for justice and peace
built on dignity and compassion.
Hear the whispered prayers of your people,
O Savior and Redeemer,
and grant your peace and comfort to those for whom we pray,
Amen.
