gentle and generous, welcoming to those in need.
Help us to live your forgiveness and peace. Protect all families with your loving care,

Increase our faith, Strengthen our hope, Keep us safe in your love,
Make us always grateful for the gift of life that we share.
This we ask, through Christ our Lord, Amen.
