We pray for others who are continuing in hospital or recovering at home. As we speak their names, we lift them to you:

We pray for our Households of Faith.

We pray for our world. So many looming uncertainties. So many things teetering on the edge. We yearn for an end to violence. We yearn for new political pathways, and different ways of solving problems. We yearn for good news, for bold announcements of the strategies that are working, of the places where new pathways are being discovered.

Holy God, there are many other prayers in our hearts. In these moments of silence we will pray these other prayers, also paying attention for your help, listening for your unexpressed groans.

AMEN.
