Dear Divine Spirit of Justice and Mercy, we address you today, burdened by sorrow, the anguish of injustice, and the yearning for peace that transcends all divisions.
We extend our prayers to the workers in California, where one life was lost, and hundreds were detained in a raid that undermined dignity. May the memory of Jaime Alanis be honored, and every hand that labors be met with fairness, safety, and respect. Let justice not be wielded as a weapon but as a balm for the weary and the unseen.
We lift up the global community, as new tariffs threaten to deepen divides between nations. May leaders remember that economic strength is hollow without compassion, and that true prosperity is measured not in profit but in the well-being of every soul.
We hold in prayer the vulnerable at the margins—as Hamas, depleted and desperate, seeks to capture rather than reconcile, and as conflict continues to steal futures and silence hope. May the captives be released, the wounded be healed, and the longing for peace be stronger than the thirst for power.
We grieve the quiet erasure of truth, as the Stonewall Monument website removes the word “bisexual,” following the silencing of “transgender.” We remember that history is not a convenience but a sacred record of courage, struggle, and love. May every identity be honored, and no one be written out of the story they helped shape.
In the midst of sorrow, we celebrate the triumph of grace—as Iga Swiatek makes history with a flawless victory at Wimbledon. May her strength remind us that excellence can coexist with humility, and that joy, too, is a sacred thread in the tapestry of life.
For all beings—the grieving and the rejoicing, the powerful and the powerless, the seen and the unseen—may peace prevail, love lead, and hope endure. Amen 
Whispers of Grace
