Who will bring me to the fortified city? Who will lead me to Edom? Have you not rejected us, O God? You do not go out, O God, with our armies. Oh grant us help against the foe, for vain is the salvation of man! With God we shall do valiantly; it is he who will tread down our foes.
Lord, lead Your Church out in battle, not armed with the weapons of man but equipped with Your full armor. Fill us with the boldness to declare the Good News without fear and timidity; bring our lives into conformity to Your Word; saturate us with Your love and peace; equip us with the sound judgment to know exactly how to approach every opportunity; use us unsparingly to advance Your Kingdom in the here and now.
