Collect
God our Liberator, we offer our deepest gratitude for your divine manifestation among the destitute, the oppressed, and the marginalized; we affirm our faith that through your presence, love is revealed and selfless action is inspired, fostering peace and justice throughout humanity, and as your prophets called for righteousness and as Christ healed and restored the bent and burdened, empower us to become instruments of harmony and agents of genuine fellowship with all living beings, granting us the courage and perseverance to stand in unwavering solidarity with those who endure hardship and suffering, through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever. Amen.
