We pray to the Lord.

For an end to war and terrorism,
for end to all violence,
especially actions rooted in pride, selfishness or quest for power.
We pray to the Lord.

For all who mourn or find life burdensome,
all who are lost, all whose souls struggle in anguish.
May they find peace for their pain,
direction for their wandering and solace for their spirit.
We pray to the Lord.

For refugees, immigrants and all who have left home, family or security.
For courage, help and hope.
For freedom and healing.
We pray to the Lord.

For a spirit of generosity,
may we liberally give our bread to the hungry,
our time to the lonely
and join our voices with all who cry for justice.
We pray to the Lord.

For time with the Lord.
Let us redirect our lives to trust in God’s mysterious love.
We pray to the Lord.

For all who have died,

may they sing forever with the saints in heaven.
