     Gracious Heavenly Father, thank You for this blessed day. 
     Lord, thank You for being the joy of our salvation and the strength of our heart. Ignite in our heart a faith that holds fast to our hope in You. 
     Lord, may we grow in maturity and character as Your children, through all our actions we display to the world. Let Your plans You have for us, our family, our Church be fulfilled by You. 
     Lord, we commend the Bishopric elections taking place in many dioceses. Let Your wisdom and discernment prevail with all those who preside over this whole election process. 
     Lord, we commend all of us into Your hands as we go through this summer season. Especially the children and senior citizens who are highly vulnerable to the heat wave. 
     Lord, we also commend all the street vendors, other service providers and  professionals. Strengthen them to withstand the heat as they move around.
     Lord, we rejoice always in the hope of a better tomorrow and endure everything with patience. You are our Stronghold, and our Refuge. 
     In Jesus' name we pray, Amen.
