Prayers of the Faithful

Let us pray that our Universal Church may deepen as a school of love. May kindness, fairness and hope find a home in us.

We pray to the Lord

Let us pray to become bearers of forgiveness among people separated by family disputes, arguments over politics and varying life values. May acceptance flow from our mouths and hearts.

We pray to the Lord.

Let us pray for people who feel stuck and unappreciated in family life, for family members who have lost their way and who bear their pain silently. May mercy fill the downhearted with joy.

We pray to the Lord.

Let us pray for siblings caught in rivalry, for family members lost in pity, and for teens tormented by bullying. May the old pass away and comfort find its home in us.

We pray to the Lord.

Let us pray for people living fragile lives from disease, from chemotherapy, from the bruises and frailness of how life has turned out. May we be found in the arms of mercy.

We pray to the Lord.

Let us pray for our loved ones who have entered eternal life. May they be found in God’s embrace and forgiveness. In this Mass…

We pray to the Lord.
