Holy One, you are always
more compassionate than we can
imagine,
full of kindness and wisdom.
You, O God, are justice
and justice is You.
Watch over us, God of all creation –
Those who are suffering for any
reason –
For want of food – deliver us from
hunger, famine, dirty water, poor soil,
From too much – deliver us from
greed and selfishness.
For those who are ill in body, mind
or spirit
May your love bring healing and
wholeness
The well-being that only you can
bring, peace.
Over all creation, O God, give
watch.
You, O God are justice, and justice is
you.
Be with leaders of provinces,
nations, states, cities, villages
May all civic leaders be filled with
wisdom
May our leaders have a mind for all
people.
May our discourse be civil and our
compassion endless.
May we set aside bitter envy and
selfish ambition.
May we listen deeply and respond
with hearts full of God’s wisdom and
justice.
We give thanks, O God
For all the blessings of this life
For life itself.
For sun, moon, and stars,
For enough food, clean water, and
fresh air
To sustain a healthy life as you
desire.
For patience, the ability to grow in
wisdom
For your mercy, alive in Jesus
For your tenderness embracing
Our vulnerabilities like children
Seeing into our lives, with love.
You, O God are justice, and justice
is you.
You are always more compassionate than
we can imagine,
full of kindness and wisdom.
You, O God, are justice
And justice is you.
Amen.
