Gracious and merciful God,
just in all your ways, kind in all your doings,
you have rescued us from the power of darkness
and transferred us into the kingdom of your beloved Son.
He is Lord over all creation, in whom we have redemption,
the forgiveness of sins.
In his good name, we ask you:
break the yoke from all the peoples
who suffer under tyranny, burst the bonds
of all trapped in war or held captive to violence,
and teach us all to demonstrate your
grace and mercy.
