For those coping with the destruction wrought by war and violence and fear in so many parts of the world today: Lord in your mercy, hear our prayers. Amen.
Almighty God, who hast promised to hear the petitions of
those who ask in thy Son’s Name: We beseech thee mercifully
to incline thine ear to us who have now made our prayers and
supplications unto thee; and grant that those things which we
have faithfully asked according to thy will, may effectually be
obtained, to the relief of our necessity, and to the setting forth
of thy glory; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen. (From the Book of Common Prayer.)
