Bishop Says!
Feb 8
Prince of Peace, calm communities divided by fear and suspicion. Heal mistrust between neighbors, races, and ideologies. Shape us into peacemakers who listen deeply, speak gently, and act boldly for justice, reflecting your reconciling love in a fractured world.
Feb 7
God of earth and sky, forgive our careless use of creation. Open our eyes to communities harmed by environmental neglect. Teach us restraint, responsibility, and reverence, so the land, waters, and air may be protected for future generations and all living beings.
Feb 6
Creator of all labor, bless workers whose hands sustain families yet remain unseen. Confront systems that exploit, underpay, or discard. Inspire fair wages, safe conditions, and respect for all who toil, that work may reflect your justice and participate in your holy purpose.
Feb 5
Merciful God, move us beyond sympathy into faithful action. Where suffering is ignored, awaken conscience. Where poverty is normalized, stir generosity. Teach us to love not only in words but through sustained commitment to justice, mercy, and the restoration of human dignity.
Feb 4
God of every tribe and tongue, heal the wounds of racism that scar your children and fracture communities. Expose systems built on exclusion. Give us humility to listen, courage to repent, and resolve to dismantle injustice, so your beloved community may flourish in truth and peace.
