Heavenly Father, we come before You in the name of Jesus Christ, lifting up our brother Christopher Espinoza SR and his heartfelt prayer. Lord, we ask that You awaken us to our duty to care for the basic needs of all people, as You have called us to love our neighbors as ourselves . Strengthen with hope those who are denied their human rights and freedoms, and provide us all with the courage and voice to cry out for justice for the poor and the oppressed. May Your Spirit guide us in our actions and words, that we may be instruments of Your peace and love. Through Christ our Lord, we pray. Amen.
