Pray with the global church

Lord of Hosts, we lift up the church in Latin America, remembering the 304 martyrs whose faithfulness has echoed through this new era of martyrdom. As their blood cries out from the ground, strengthen the believers who remain to stand firm in faith and love. Preserve those who gather under threat and let Your Spirit sustain them with joy and endurance. Confront those who persecute Your people, and reveal Jesus to them in visions and dreams that turn enemies into brothers. For these lands where blood has been shed, make Your Kingdom known by raising peacemakers and justice-seekers. Let the courage of these martyrs bear witness to Christ's enduring victory. For Your name's sake and glory in all the earth, Amen.
