Lord, hear our prayer:
Lord of life, we pray for friends and neighbors; for those we work with and for members of our own family who are without joy, hope, peace or any real sense of purpose and direction in their lives. May they know the revitalizing love of God. The Lord hears our prayer. Thanks be to God. We pray for nations whose people are filled with hatred and aggression towards each other; for communities split by distrust and injustice. May the love of God bring a deeper desire for true reconciliation. We think particularly of those countries hit by natural disasters. We know you hear and answer all prayers spoken in love according to your will.
Amen.
FOR THE LOVE OF GOD
