Lord, hear our prayer:

Exalted and most holy Lord, we thank you for the words and deeds of those who have changed life for other people; those who have brought the word of hope to those who are broken, the message of love to those who are down; those who spoke words of forgiveness to those who were wrong and whose lives brought encouragement to those without joy. Thank you for those who have warned others of danger and those who declare the good news of Christ. Father, we thank you for the whole life and ministry of Jesus that gives us hope and for the promise of the Holy Spirit, who gives us new life. We bring our thanks in Christ’s name.

Amen.
