Pray with the global church

God of Justice and Compassion, we lift up France as its Constitutional Council upholds the rights of faith-based institutions to remain true to their convictions in matters of life and death. You know the sanctity You have placed upon life, and we ask You to sustain these institutions in wisdom and courage as they stand firm in their beliefs. Guard the hearts of those who serve in these settings with peace that transcends understanding, and reveal Jesus to patients and staff alike as the source of life and hope. Open the eyes of lawmakers and citizens to the light of Your truth, and let justice and mercy flow together in every decision and action. For Your glory and in the name of Christ, Amen.
