We are one in the Spirit

God, loving parent, we are all one family in you. Help us recognize the familial bonds that hold us together as community, and let us become a people of purpose, seeking to put your word into action in the world. Teach us and mold us into your children, and help us grow in faith and knowledge of your will for the world.

We pray for Veronica Ortiz and her grandmother, Norberta Ortiz. We give thanks for the love and support that they provide for each other, and we ask your protection for them. We pray for Jamie Karyn Holder and her son Nicholas. In your Spirit, unite them in love and let your will guide their lives. We pray for Patsy K. Grimmett, that she may continue to grow in your grace, and that her life will be used for your glory. We pray for Linda Faith Caldwell and her family. We pray for Jennifer and Gene Hoang and their children, strengthen them and help them share you love with one another. We pray for Melissa E. Pagan. Let her know she is never alone when she in in your care.

For these and all your children, we pray. Strengthen the bonds of family love, and help families provide a nurturing environment grounded in your word. Create in our society a new spirit of compassion, so that our leaders will know and follow the right path that values human rights everywhere in the world. Help us as individuals and as a nation, learn to make the best decisions, and when we make mistakes, to do all we can to undo the harm done, and to humbly seek your forgiveness. We ask in the name of Jesus, our savior. Amen.
