Lord, you are the light of the world. Make us instruments of justice, and peace. Help us to bring the light of your gospel to the ends of the earth.  

Lord, help us to be salt and light.

Lord, you are the bread of life. Use us to feed the hungry and nourish us all with your saving word. 

Thank you for our spot at the table.

Lord, you are our hope and our strength. Be close to all who are rejected and alone. Give courage to all who are without hope. Heal those who are sick or injured, and inspire those whose faith is shaken. 

Look with compassion upon us and all who turn to you.

Lord, you are our blessing and our joy. We thank you for all the blessings of this life, for those who love us, for occupations that fulfill us, and for rest that restores us. 

Make us faithful stewards of your grace.

Lord, you are our way, our truth and our life. Hear our prayer for the church, for Pastor JP and Diana, our bishops, for all ministers and for all the people of God. 

Guide us and all who follow you, deepen our appreciation of your truth, and renew us with your spirit. Amen.
