Pray with the global church

God of Justice and Deliverance, we give thanks for the release of the Indian Catholics held under false charges in Rajasthan. You have heard the cries of the innocent and brought them out of the snare. Continue to be their refuge and strength, an ever-present help as they return to their families and communities. Strengthen the believers in India who face unjust laws and hostility. Uphold them as they stand firm in faith, and let Your truth shine in the midst of persecution. Open the hearts of the authorities and accusers to see Your grace, and reveal Jesus to those who oppose Your Church. We trust in Your steadfast love and wait for the day when justice will roll down like waters, and righteousness like an ever-flowing stream. In the name of Jesus, our Deliverer, Amen.
