While red is customarily the Pentecost color,/ all the more,/ the color of Holy Spirit is green./ May we grow and green into the mind of Christ,/ with all of its challenge to change and evolve./ We pray to the Lord.
During the Coronavirus pandemic,/ the rates of domestic violence are increasing dramatically./ We pray for a national healing,/ where there is currently uncertainty,/ and feelings of isolation and powerlessness./ May we be freed of any sense of owning or controlling others./ We pray to the Lord.
For the President of the United States,/ our congress,/ and leaders across the nation./ May they truly care for the people they have sworn to protect in national emergencies,/ sharing sacrifice,/ working to save lives/ and honoring the dead./ We pray to the Lord.
While we pray for those who reveal what is best in us,/ we also pray for those who are resentful,/ filled with ill-will,/ even mockery,/ who politicize this time of grave sickness./ When we say, We are in this together,/ may we mean it./ We pray to the Lord.
The nation is blind to its own original sin of racism./ In the Holy Spirit,/ may we confront our own prejudices,/ be discomforted by this national failure/ and boldly broaden our pro-life witness./ We pray to the Lord.
We pray for the more than 100,000 who have died in this country from the Coronavirus,/ and for the loved ones who mourn them./ We ask for the Pentecost gift of comfort and healing./ We pray to the Lord.
