- For the Church: may we extend God’s love and acceptance to all on the fringes of society and help them find acceptance in our community
We pray to the Lord.
- For the ability to forgive: may we show ourselves as God’s children by forgiving and reaching out to those who have wronged us
We pray to the Lord.
- For the grace to risk all for Christ like Zacchaeus: may we come before God willing to risk our pride to connect with Christ and others in living our vocations as single, married, religious, deacons and priests
We pray to the Lord.
- For all doctors, nurses and healthcare professionals: may they be permitted to function according to their conscience
We pray to the Lord.
- For all who are ill: may God free your heart and fill you with peace. Let us pray especially for those whose names have been placed on our altar.
We pray to the Lord.
- For all who have died: may God welcome them into the eternal banquet.
We pray especially for those whose names are written on the All Souls envelopes for whom this Mass is being offered.
We pray to the Lord.
