Lord Jesus Christ, our compassionate savior and Redeemer, who during Your earthly ministry went about doing good, laying healing hands on the sick and lifting up the poor and lowly, grant us, we pray, like minds. That, grateful for our salvation in Your holy wounds, we may let our light shine and do good to all people, especially to those who are of the household of faith.

Bless all our institutions of mercy, dedicated to the healing of body, mind and soul. Grant all chaplains, social workers and others involved in human care ministries a rich portion of Your Spirit that they might reflect in their service the mercy and kindness You have shown us in Your sacrificial death and Your glorious resurrection.

Open the hearts and hands of Your people to support all that is done throughout the world to relieve the agony of those who suffer from hunger and want, from war and terrorism, from fire, floods, and other disaster. We ask Your blessing on our service, in Your blessed, saving name. AMEN
