Pray with the global church

God of Love, we bring before You the people of Poland and the grieving community affected by the attack on the convent. Even in deep sorrow, Father Adrian has pointed to love and forgiveness — show us how love fulfills the law, bringing healing to hearts torn by violence. We ask You to comfort Father Adrian and all who mourn with the hope only found in Jesus. Guard those who continue to serve Your name amid fear, and let their love for enemies be a testament to Your power. Encounter those who persecute, turning their hearts from darkness to light, that they may see Jesus revealed as Savior. May love abound in this land, and may forgiveness flow as a river through Christ's transformative grace. Amen.
