We pray for the safety of summer travelers and vacationers./ We ask for the summer months to be a time of restoration and renewal - mindful of those who get no time away./ We pray to the Lord.

We are in the time of the World Cup in Brazil./ For the safety of athletes,/ spectators and organizers./ And for the happy and full realization of the blessings received when hostilities are put aside and games are played./ We pray to the Lord.
