May we live this holy season in a spirit of faithful prayer, fasting, and good works.
Create in us new hearts, O God.
In a world of abundance where children go hungry,
may we work so that all will have daily bread.
In a world which values wealth and power more than human persons and community,
may we stand as witnesses to the dignity of every person.
In a world where disagreements and longstanding enmities are resolved by war,
may we spend our lives as apostles of peace and unity.
In a world created out of love and charged with your sacred presence,
may we help to reveal your face in all people and in all creation.
In a world which hungers for meaning and purpose,
may we be companions to the dear neighbor, bearing your light and your truth.
