Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary

For Leo, our Pope, and all leaders in faith. May our humility become home for God’s miracles.

We pray to the Lord.

For leaders of every nation under heaven. May we act in justice and seek the protection and dignity of women.

We pray to the Lord.

For people starving for food, compassion and the basics of life. May God provide food for our survival and hope for our children.

We pray to the Lord.

For deeper surrender to God. May we voice our consent to the Holy Spirit even when we are afraid of the future. May Mary show us the way to God.

We pray to the Lord.

For people surviving poverty and homelessness. May the marginalized find compassion in Christ Jesus. May we work to shelter our forgotten families.

We pray to the Lord.

For courage to speak up for people who are put down by abuse and neglect. May the oppressed find deep healing and love.

We pray to the Lord.

For every human being who has died. May we be welcome in God’s everlasting presence in heaven. May Mary pray for us at the hour of our death.

We pray to the Lord.
