#MorningPrayer Inspire in us, Lord Jesus, the faith and fortitude, the courage and constancy, to reveal you to others in all situations by our words and our ways, by our actions and our attitudes. Give us courage to speak and to show the truth of your love to power and to pauper.

#MorningPrayer Lord Jesus, by your incarnation you made your home with us; through the gift of the Holy Spirit you make your home within us and among us to the end of the age. So fill us with your presence and your grace, that we cannot help but show and share your love with all.

#MorningPrayer By the power of your love, Lord Jesus, you will overcome all that seeks to resist the purposes and promises of your kingdom, even death itself. In the joy of this Easter season, may we embrace the new life you offer, and live out your love for all people every day.

#MorningPrayer Keep us, Lord Jesus, from joining in with the world’s game of divisiveness, enmity, rivalry and hatred. Fill us rather with your loving, healing, reconciling Spirit, that we may be led to bridge division, to build relationship, to challenge hatred, to inspire hope.

Peace begins in the human heart, passes through relationships, takes root in neighborhoods and peripheries, and expands until it embraces the entire city and the world. Peace is built by promoting a culture that rejects violence, through daily gestures, education, and practical acts of justice. #PastoralVisit #Naples

#MorningPrayer Lord Jesus, may we live lives that witness to you, use words that reveal you, make choices that show your leading, take paths that follow your call, and have the courage always to point to you and your kingdom, not by fear or force, but by your love, shown to all.

#MorningPrayer Lord Jesus, may our confidence, be not in those things we create for ourselves or achieve for ourselves; not in accomplishments or image, not in status or riches, not in the adulation or praise of others, not in our own self-belief, but in your grace and your love.

#MorningPrayer When we are beset, Lord, by turmoil within and without, buffeted by the storms around us and driven by fears inside us, reassure us of your presence with us and of your love for us, of your power and your peace, that we may be drawn by hope, and sustained by grace.

#MorningPrayer Keep us, Lord, from becoming so consumed by our own ego and self-justification, that we see only the faults of others and not our own; give us the desire to seek wisdom and truth, that our lives may be lived as expressions of your love, bearing your grace for all.

#MorningPrayer Grant us, Lord, the wisdom and courage to meet injustice not with a desire for revenge and retribution, but with the strength to expose it, name it, and shame it. Guide us not to play evil at its own game, but to show to all the way of your justice, peace and love.

#MorningPrayer Lord, you create us as children of your covenant; inviting us to be people of your promises, citizens of your kingdom. May we respond to the love in which you hold us, by loving each other. As you seek peace and wellbeing for us, may we seek the same for the world.

#MorningPrayer In a world which often lauds power rather than peace, and greed rather than generosity, you call us, Lord, to stand not with oppressors and bullies, but with those who face injustice. Strengthen our resolve, as people of your kingdom, to pursue the peace you offer.

#MorningPrayer Heal us, Lord, from the prejudices that cloud our vision and our understanding, that close off our minds to the good you want us to enjoy, that dull our delight in the richness of diversity in your world. Help us to see one another as you see us, with eyes of love.
