Prayer: Send Us


Lord of the Universe, Master of all,
look in love upon your people.
Pour the healing oil of your compassion
on a world that is wounded and dying.
Send us out in search of the lost,
to comfort the afflicted,
to bind up the broken,
and to free those trapped
under the rubble of their fallen dreams.

  1. This prayer is uniquely suited to begin the work of the Synod each day for is that not what evangelization is all about - showing mercy to others, being Christ in the world.

    1. Ah, the new Year of Faith begins.

      May the church find itself at peace with the culture in which it exists. God and Christ have redeemed the world and its many cultures.
