· FOR OTHERS
Stir up in us, Loving God, the desire and the
determination to glorify you in every prayer and in all our relationships. Transfigure
not only our own lives but also the lives and affairs of the millions with whom
we share this planet.
Transfigure each ordinary church-goer.
Dispel
discouragement and self-doubt, self-righteousness and arrogance.
Transfigure the women and men who preach the
Gospel.
Enlarge their
understanding and expand their capacity to love.
Transfigure the hopes of the down-trodden and
dispossessed.
Give a new
compassion to the strong and the prosperous.
Transfigure the expectations of the young.
Disperse the
vainglory and indulgence with which this society indoctrinates them.
Transfigure the values and goals of political
leaders.
Inspire them
to act justly, love mercy, and to walk humbly with you.
Transfigure the anguish of those who tremble
or weep, suffer or die today.
Let the valley
of sorrows become an avenue of hope to your children.
Through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Amen!
Bruce Prewer
