Heavenly Father, whose we are and whom we serve, help us to glorify your name in our works, deeds and thoughts.
Watch over our hearts and make our labors fruitful.
We ask for your presence and consolation. Dry our tears if we weep; raise our courage if we weaken; restore our hope if we lose heart.
Give us strength, if we care for the ill.
This we ask as your servants, through Christ our Lord.
