healing grace and strength upon those who have contracted the virus, for those
who struggle with chronic and terminal illnesses and for those whose spirits
are heavy and dark with sadness and despair.

grieve this day. Provide for those who
have lost loved ones, who have lost jobs and who have lost hope.

love are in your care.
We are blessed to be your people and
the sheep of your pasture. Deliver us
from the sins of pride, materialism and indifference to the needs of
others. Inspire us to be agents of your
justice and our nation’s conscience.

them. soundness of judgement, courage of decision and the zeal to unite the
people of our country and to work for the common good.
You are our God, and we are your people
and the sheep of your pasture. Bless us
that we may be a blessing to all peoples.
We ask this in Christ’s name, who first taught us to pray:
Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy
name.
Thy kingdom come, thy will be done on earth
as it is in heaven. Give us this day
our daily bread.
And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive
those
who trespass against us. And lead us
not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil. For
thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory forever. Amen
