- For the Church: may God embolden our hearts, empower our words and inspire each to announce God’s mercy and endless love, as we live our vocations as single, married, religious, deacons and priests
We pray to the Lord.
- For the grace of awareness: may we recognize the Lord’s voice in our lives, distinguish it from the many other sounds which demand our time and attention and follow His invitations to a fuller life
We pray to the Lord.
- For freedom from fear: may we rely upon the Spirit’s strength as we face challenges and negative messages at school, work or in society
We pray to the Lord.
- For all doctors, nurses and healthcare professionals: may they be permitted to function according to their conscience and may their gifts be of service for God’s glory
We pray to the Lord.
- For all who are ill: may the Holy Spirit heal them. Let us pray especially for those whose names have been placed on our altar.
We pray to the Lord.
- For all who have died, particularly our mothers: may they experience the love of the Good Shepherd.
We pray to the Lord.
