Lord God, we pray for the French telecom company Orange, its former chief executive, and
five other former Orange executives as they go on trial in Paris this
week. Estimated at taking two months to complete, we know this will be a
complicated and highly emotional legal process. Lord, these executives are
accused of creating an "anxiety-inducing work environment" that
drove 31 employees to suicide, with 19 workers successfully killing themselves.
It is hard to imagine a workplace intentionally creating such stress, pressure
and harassment. However, we also know the power of greed and sin, and that 19
people are dead. Lord God, we fervently pray for truth to come out throughout
this trial—truth about the overall corporation, as well as each individual. May
no individual who should be convicted avoid that, and may no individual who is
innocent be unjustly punished. May this process be as efficient and honorable
as possible. We also ask for protection, peace and strength for the grieving as
they watch this process unfold and even, in some cases, participate. In Jesus’
name we pray, amen.
