In defiance of corruption and falsehood,

we commit to truth and integrity and we pray for honesty and uprightness to increase in our world.

In defiance of apathy and hatred,

we choose to be proactive in love and we pray for understanding and peace to increase in our world.

In defiance of skepticism and cynicism,

we embrace the mystery of faith and we pray for humility and wonder to increase in our world.

In defiance of self-interest and human arrogance,

we celebrate God’s salvation and we pray for compassion and faith to increase in our world.

In defiance of all that would oppose God’s purpose among us,

we choose again to follow Christ, and we continue to pray, not just now, but at all times. Amen.

Wherever you are, continue to speak of what God has done.

We will remind everyone that, despite everything, God loves us.

Wherever you find yourself, continue to sing of what God is doing.

We will rejoice that God has not left us orphaned,
but makes us one with everyone around us.

Whenever you can, continue to imagine what God will do.

We will witness to that hope which seems to distant,
yet is as close to us as our hearts.
