Prayer for the People of Pakistan

Heavenly Father,

You know all of those who suffer in your name.

We ask that you be with the Christians in Pakistan.

Encourage them to remain strong in faith and trust

despite physical and psychological abuse.

We remember those who are imprisoned for their faith.

Please comfort all those who have lost loved ones

and who live in fear.

Strengthen the Church leaders in Pakistan.

Give them wisdom and courage to seek justice and peace.

We aso pray, that our brothers and sisters in Christ are blessed

with the grace to forgive those who persecute them.

Mary, help of Christians, Mother of mercy pray for them.

Amen.
