Fourth Sunday of Lent, Collect (Redub)

God of mercy,

we ask that you would bring freedom,

both to our world and the human race.

We ask that your Spirit would release

those who are imprisoned or enslaved.

We ask that you would liberate your Church.

Help us share your freedom with

all people and places where we serve.

Amen.
