Almighty God, you have so linked our lives one with another that all we do affects, for good or ill, all other lives: So guide us in the work we do, that we may do it not for self alone, but for the common good; and, as we seek a proper return for our own labor, make us mindful of the rightful aspirations of other workers, and arouse our concern for those who are out of work; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen (BCP 261).

We pray for those affected by natural disasters, including the catastrophic flooding in Nepal and China. By your Spirit, lift up those who have fallen, strengthen those who work to rescue or rebuild, and fill us with the hope of your new creation; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

We lift up the men and women of the National Guard and all who serve in the United States military. Bless them with courage, protect them from harm, grant them wisdom in every duty, and surround their families with peace and strength.

We give thanks for the vision God has set before this parish and for calling us into the holy work of building a new church and fellowship hall. We ask God's blessing on our Vestry, Building Committee, and Capital Campaign Committee. May God strengthen them as they invite us to offer our energy, prayers, and resources for the mission entrusted to us. And may we continue to proclaim the hope we share as we live into the future God is building among us.

Dear Father, Send down your blessings on law enforcement officers, firemen, and first responders. Grant them courage, wisdom, strength, and compassion in all their work. When the alarm sounds, let them faithfully serve you in their neighborhood. Amen.

Almighty God, whose beloved Son Jesus Christ, went about doing good, and healing all manner of illness and disease: continue, we beseech you, his gracious work. Grant to physicians, nurses and all health care professionals wisdom and skill, sympathy and patience; keep them safe and preserve them from all contagion. Cheer, heal and sanctify the sick, and send down your blessing on all who care for them healer, Jesus Christ, Our Lord. Amen.
