- For the Church: may we reach out to all who have been excluded or marginalized by our society and offer acceptance and inclusion into our community as we live our vocations as single, married, religious, deacons and priests
We pray to the Lord.
- For transformation: may we present ourselves before Christ and confidently surrender to His touch all that is sinful, selfish or alienating in our life as we prepare for Lent this week
We pray to the Lord.
- For unity in the human family: may God awaken within us a spirit of fraternity and help us cooperate with all peoples, races and faith traditions in combating disease, poverty, social injustice and ecological issues
We pray to the Lord.
- For all doctors, nurses and healthcare professionals: may they be permitted to function according to their conscience and may Grace help them imitate Christ
We pray to the Lord.
- For all who are ill and those with Covid-19: may God touch them and free humanity of covid-19. Let us pray especially for those whose names have been placed on our altar.
We pray to the Lord.
