“In the end, we will remember not the words of our enemies, but the silence of our friends.”
–Martin Luther King, Jr.

Prayer

Great Defender,

Extending your healing ministry impels us to follow you, not only in works of mercy and healing, but also in the work of advocacy. Lending our voices on behalf of those who are most in need of compassion and liberation. Encourage us all to be willing to extend also this side of your ministry, that we might boldly defend and promote the dignity of every person, especially those who are most in need of our voice. Those who have lost their own voice and the support they deserve. Those who are poor, marginalized, oppressed, and suffering. Make us vocal and true friends of all your beloved. In your name we pray, Amen.

Call to Action

Who around me is most in need of an advocate? Be on the lookout for some way I can lend my voice in support of their cause.
