we praise You for your sheltering hand
that has guarded us through the storms of the night.
Glory be to You, O Source of All Being.
Lead Us, O Shepherd of Our Souls
deeper into the broad plans of righteousness,
and guide us to cool shade of compassion
that we may care for one another
as Jesus calls us to do.
Let us examine our hearts,
and the action against all injustice,
especially those from which we benefit.
May we lay down our weapons
and put on the armor of kinship and obedience
in pursuit of the gospel of hope and love.
Bless those who pursue righteousness and charity,
and grant us a thirst for integrity and truth.
Spirit of the Living God,
send your angels to envelop
in a cloud of protection
all those who call out in need,
especially those for whom we pray.
Amen.
