Kristallnacht is the night of November 9th to 10th,/1938,/ when Nazis torched synagogues,/ vandalized Jewish homes,/ schools,/ and Jewish businesses across Germany and occupied Austria./ Nearly 100 Jews died./ For the conversion of every Christian heart harboring hatred for Jews./ We pray to the Lord.
We pray for Pope Francis/ and for the Church./ May we be a people of joy,/ welcome,/ justice,/ generosity and good prayer./ We pray to the Lord.
This week the United States formally withdrew from the Paris Climate Accord./ We pray for the safeguarding of our vulnerable planet./ May we be of good conscience,/ freed of the exploitive greed which stresses the earth./ We pray to the Lord.
We pray for our President and those in leadership all around the world./ May they be persons of virtue/ and self-forgetting in the service of all the people./ And as an election year gets underway,/ may it be a safe and peaceful time./ We pray to the Lord.
For the sick,/ those who are abused,/ wounded or dying./ For the State of California where fires are still being fought./ For prisoners and addicts./ We pray to the Lord.
As we move into the cold and dark time,/ we pray for those who have no warmth or comfort./ For those who are alone,/ fleeing,/ afraid,/ or feeling they are at their wits ends./ We pray to the Lord.
We pray for Pope Francis/ and for the Church./ May we be a people of joy,/ welcome,/ justice,/ generosity and good prayer./ We pray to the Lord.
