Gracious and loving God, we beseech you to continue to comfort those around the Episcopal Diocese of Los Angeles still reeling from the Eaton and Palisades fires; to throw a blanket of protection over those in the path of the Hughes fire, especially exhausted firefighters and fire officials; and to hear our song of thanksgiving for our sister Mariann‘s witness of the love and justice proclaimed and embodied by our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, reminding us of the values in whose behalf we resolve to continue to build up our church. Through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen
