>>9860850Our Father,
We acknowledge that we are sinful, prideful and arrogant; that we have failed to do Justly, that we have failed to love Mercy, and that we have gone astray. Therefore, Oh Lord, in your compassionate kindness and everlasting Love, shown to us in the body of Jesus who was killed for our sins and raised from the dead to rule in power and glory, bring our hearts back to You; create in us a new, clean heart, renew in us a mind for You, and strengthen us to work for your glory.
We also humbly petition you for our health: that this plague be not fatal. But in this, and All Things, may You be glorified and make manifest your goodness. We are poor and weak and sick, and it is only by You that we may be indeed Rich and Strong and Healthful.
Please draw us, individually, and as a nation, and most especially as Your Church closer to You through the Son, the Risen King, Jesus Christ.
Your will be done,
Amen.
