Shepherd of the Universe,Who reconcile all peoples, gather the stray sheep and bind up wounds with Your healing love, we ask You to guide and protect every member of the human family.
Bring nations together in peaceful concord ensuring liberty and justice for all.
Bring peoples of every race and creed to respect one another in faith, hope, and love as sons and daughters of the living God.
Bring families a deep spirit of love and unity, loyalty, mutual encouragement and understanding.
Gather up all those who have strayed from Your love, who are bitter and cynical, defiant and rebellious.
Gather up hardened criminals and perverts, drug pushers and all those who lead others astray.
Gather up all young people who have lost a sense of meaning in life, who wander aimlessly and hopelessly.
Heal the sick and dying, especially those enduring extreme physical pain and permanent disabilities.
Heal all mental illnesses and handicaps, the despairing, drug addicts and alcoholics.
Lord, You have told us many times that You came to be our Shepherd to rescue us from evil and to bring us to springs of life. We thank You for this promise, for the blood that You have poured down upon us as Lamb of God, bringing us to infinite love as You reconciled us to the Father through Your Spirit, forever and ever. Amen.
