Faithful God, your deliverance is near at hand: keep us from
fear and help us to find courage and joy in your word.
Tender God, gentle protector in time of trouble: pierce the
gloom of despair and give us, with all your people, the song of freedom and the
shout of praise. I will employ all of my soul and body to praise your most holy
name.
Do not face us, O living God, with the choice of a world
without justice or a future without mercy; in your mercy, establish justice and
in your justice, remember your overflowing mercy.
Remove our hearts of stone. Replace them with hearts sprinkled
clean and made of flesh. Put a new spirit within us; let us be your people.
Kindle in us the fire of your love. Amen
