Gracious God, full of mercy and love, who calls us to transform scarcity and fear into abundance and peace, give us generous and loving hearts to see the splendor of your reign, that we may live in truth and honor and praise you for the transformation of our lives.
Holy Father, Father of Christ who walks with us in the power of the Spirit, you come to save us in all times and places, offering us new live in your presence. Help us to receive your gift of faith so that the soil into which you sow your word may produce abundant fruit.
Almighty and everlasting God, you are always more ready to hear than we are to pray, and to give more than we either desire or deserve: Pour upon us the abundance of your mercy, forgiving us those things of which our conscience is afraid and giving us those good things for which we are not worthy to ask, except through the merits and mediation of Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever. Amen.
