Almighty God, who holds the universe in your hands, save your people, those whom you love, that we might be rescued from the darkness and destruction of this world and your people would praise you for your salvation and vindication, through Christ our Lord, who reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever. Amen.
‘For Zion’s sake I will not keep silent, and for Jerusalem’s sake I will not rest, until her vindication shines out like the dawn and her salvation like a burning torch.’ – Isa. 62:1
