When He saw the crowds, He was moved with compassion for them, because they were harassed and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd. (Matthew 9:36)

Let us pray: Beloved Jesus Christ, we earnestly pray in Your most holy name the deliverance of our country. This nation has been distressed with crimes and corruption. Ordinary citizens like us are afraid and restless to challenge authority and fight for our human rights and dignity. Lord help us by bringing forth justice and mercy. Bestow us your compassion most especially the people who are suffering from poverty or those who lost a loveone because of violence. We pray that this madness will be over soon. Amen
