Pray with the global church

God of Justice and Compassion, we lift up Hong Kong as Cardinal Zen and others face the weight of legal judgments against them. In the midst of uncertainty, let Your truth and righteousness shine forth. Sustain these leaders with courage and peace, knowing You hold their cause in Your hands. Reveal Jesus to judges, officials, and communities watching these events unfold, that they might encounter the One who upholds the oppressed and executes justice for the nations. Guard the Church in Hong Kong, and let her witness be marked by love and perseverance. You alone are our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. We trust in Your unfailing love and commit this situation into Your hands for the glory of Your name. Amen.
