Help us to stand mature and assured
in everything that is your will.
When we breathe out despair,
comfort us, O God, with promises
of hope.
Our sins are many, and you have
forgiven us; may our love
and our gratitude to you likewise
abound.
God, you love all who wrestle evil;
guard the lives of the faithful,
and rescue them from wickedness.
