Save your people, Lord, and bless your inheritance.
Gather into one body all who bear the name of Christian,
that the world may believe in Christ whom you have sent.
Give my friends and loved ones a share in divine life,
let them be symbols of Christ before men.
Show your love to those who are suffering,
open their eyes to the vision of your revelation.
Be compassionate to those who have died,
welcome them into the company of the faithfully departed.
(The Divine Hours: Prayers for Summertime, p. 63)
