Kyrie Eleison, O Lord have mercy.
O God and Righteous King, O God of all nations,
You who hear the cries of the lost and the powerless, and who searches the hearts of men and knows all things. Hear this prayer.
The world suffers from bondage and pain, the grief of injustice fills our hearts as we behold man against man, ideology against ideology. Birthed from pain, violence begetting violence. We weak men and sinners are helpless. But You are strong.
You are the Defender of the defenseless.
O God, hear this prayer!
You are the Strong for the weak.
O Lord, hear this prayer!
O King Immortal, O Christ who suffered for the suffering, who died for the dying, who was weak for the weak.
O Friend of sinners, hear this prayer!
O God of peace, bring Your peace!
O God of mercy, bring Your mercy!
O Teacher! O Rabbi!
Teach us to be peacemakers in this world.
Teach us to love our neighbors.
Teach us to die, in order to live in You.
O Christ, Son of God, have mercy on us sinners.
You who suffered under Pilate, was crucified, dead, and buried.
Have mercy on us.
You who conquered hell, destroying death, defeating the devil by Your most glorious resurrection.
Have mercy on us.
May our voices be voices of peace.
May our voices be voices of mercy.
May our voices be voices of charity.
May our voices be voices of tolerance.
May our voices be voices of kindness.
May our voices be voices of patience.
O Long-suffering Master! Most Patient and Kind One!
O Merciful Christ! Lamb of God! Son of the Most High!
O Virgin-Born! O Kyrie! O Kyrie! O Kyrie! Kyrie Eleison!
Have mercy on us O Lord!
We give thanks to You, O Lord.
And we worship You, who lives and reigns with the Father and the Holy Spirit, one God, forever and ever.
Amen.
