A Prayer for the Vulnerable

A collect inspired by the biblical story of Ruth

O Lord, under whose wings Ruth the Moabite found refuge, grant that your Church may embody your protective care for the vulnerable—just as Boaz did—so that the widow and orphan would find safety and their oppressors would tremble with terror, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
