Dear and
Loving God,
Help us to
remember that You created everything we see and, with special care, You
made people in Your very own image.
Please
protect all those whose lives are threatened in any way. Give
exceptional strength to all fathers and mothers that they may nurture
and protect the gift of life.
Heavenly
Father, source of all life, please bless our families and our land.
Help us to value all life as You do, and let it show in the way we treat
each other. Amen.
