- For the Church: may we be instruments of God’s peace, mercy, compassion and forgiveness, as we live our vocations as single, married, religious, deacons and priests
We pray to the Lord.
- For freedom of heart: may the Spirit free us from returning evil for evil and instead guide us in confronting evil with love and mercy
We pray to the Lord.
- For healing of racial and ethnic hatreds: may all people see the value and dignity of each person as a child of God
We pray to the Lord.
- For all doctors, nurses and healthcare professionals: may they be permitted to function according to their conscience and may God heal their memories and emotions
We pray to the Lord.
- For all who are ill: may God heal their bodies, minds and spirits. 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 know the Father’s welcoming arms.
We pray to the Lord.
