Almighty Love,
Your elements of lightning, snow and sunlight,
come to all people, regardless of our intent and deeds.
As we attempt to follow the Gospel of Jesus,
in the tradition of Dorothy Day and Peter Maurin,
we thank You for life itself.
Admitting that peace is your pleasure,
the gift You send us, we are happy to strive for justice,
through the Works of Mercy.
We know the souls of Dorothy and Peter,
can unite with us in prayer,
that our needs may be met, and our desires be fulfilled.
Grant this favor that we humbly ask through their intercession:
(WE MENTION OUR REQUEST)
May their historic activities and faith inspire your people
to turn to Christ as a model of justice-making,
to see His face in our planet's poor folks,
and to raise all voices in joy for
Your cause: the reign of Love.
We ask this through
Christ our Savior.
Amen.
