PRAYER (traditional language)
Loving God, we give thanks for Daniel Wu and his work among the Chinese immigrants whose lives he touched in his day: By the power of thy Holy Spirit give to thy Church compassion and respect for all people wherever they reside, that, inspired by thy love, every community might be filled with thy wisdom and call forth leaders to guide thy flock in faithfulness to the Eternal Word, Jesus Christ; who with thee and the Holy Spirit liveth and reigneth, one God, now and for
ever. Amen.
