Almighty God, in the dawn of creation and in the presence of your Son, your light shattered the force and lure of darkness. And though through the eyes of faith we believe that the darkness cannot overcome the light of Christ, we grieve for those whose mortal bodies have suffered under the reign of evil.



Shatter the darkness of hatred and intolerance that oppresses your people in Sudan.



Please be in prayer in solidarity with the suffering Body of Christ in Sudan. And, if you're near to Washington, D.C., think of being present at the vigil.
