- For the Church: may we be a light in times of confusion and turmoil as we live our vocations as single, married, religious, deacons and priests
We pray to the Lord.
- For the gift of hope: may we remain confident that with God, all things are possible
We pray to the Lord.
- For the grace of discernment: may we understand the signs of the times and recognize God’s presence, action and invitation each day
We pray to the Lord.
- For all doctors, nurses and healthcare professionals: may they be permitted to function according to their conscience and may the Spirit of God guide them
We pray to the Lord.
- For all who are ill: may they have new hope and healing. 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 they rejoice in the Presence of the Lord.
