For leaders of government and for judges: that they may recognize that their authority comes from God and that it is for the service of the human community, we pray:

For the safety of all travelers: that God will protect all who are returning home or to school, we pray:

For families: that each member may speak the truth in love to one another and deepen their support for one another along life’s journey, we pray:

All-powerful God, you sent Jesus among us to establish a reign unlike any other on earth: a reign of justice, peace, love and truth for all people. Help us to be living signs of your vision for all and to bring your reign to full fruition. We pray through Jesus Christ, our Lord. Amen.
