Let us pray for our leaders and guides within the Church. May they be faithful stewards of financial resources and good caretakers of people’s talents and gifts.

We pray to the Lord.

Let us pray for people who are bashful about their human talents. May we seek delight in every God-given gift under heaven.

We pray to the Lord.

Let us pray for those who look at others with judgment and blame. May we all learn to gaze into our world with hope and vitality, with peace and forgiveness.

We pray to the Lord.

Let us pray for those ashamed of their lives, those who carry heavy burdens of guilt, and those who cannot look others in the face. May healing and mercy become real for every human being under heaven.

We pray to the Lord.

Let us pray for those whose tongues speak only with arrogance. May the haughty and prideful come to terms with faith and vulnerability.

We pray to the Lord.

Let us pray for our family members and friends who have died. In this Mass…

We pray to the Lord.
