countries of origin. We pray for just immigration policy that does not punish all

asylum seekers because of one person’s actions.

insecurity because of new, misguided federal policy. May our policies work to

protect the most vulnerable among us.

oppression, and starvation. May warring leaders turn from division and work

to ensure safety for all people.

recognizes the crucial role they play to maintain food security for all in the U.S.

God of Wholeness, we pray for all students with disabilities. May federal

funding for educational, recreational, and therapeutic programs be maintained

in order to assure human dignity and the fullness of life for every person.
