God of our journey, 

We are all pilgrims of hope  

brought together by your love 

and your wish that we may all be one. 

We pray that in this Year of Jubilee, 

when we are called to greater justice  

and care for our common home, 

that we may Unite Against Poverty. 

May we work in unity for the freedom of the oppressed 

and the renewal of creation. 

May our compassionate minds and generous hearts 

help bring about a world where all can live in peace. 

May our Lenten pilgrimage of fasting, almsgiving and prayer 

bring us closer to your loving heart. 

We ask this in the name of Jesus. 

Amen
