God of mercy and liberation,
turn our hearts from the treasures of empire toward the treasures of your beloved community.
Where there is harm, make us advocates.
Where there is oppression, make us resistors.
Where there is silence, give us courage to speak.
Where there is despair, teach us to build hope.
Align our lives not with the powers that destroy, but with your vision of justice, dignity, and joy so that all your people may flourish. Amen.
