God of justice and God of love,
Hear your people
Who cry daily for peace, safety and security.
May the solidarity of your eternal presence
be close to those who suffer because of their faith in you.
May the strength and comfort of your grace
surround those who fear for their lives.
Give hope and home
to all who flee their homes because their discipleship
makes them targets of violence.
And strengthen us in our faith
that we may show our solidarity
to our sisters and brothers in Christ
and who suffer for their faith.
This we ask in the name of Christ
who was condemned, suffered and died
that we might all have life in its fullness.
Amen.
