- We pray for a real concern and love for one another, supportive and encouraging, without malice or bickering, so that we can be sent out strong in our weakness and littleness.
- All the kingdoms and states are answerable to divine authority, and much evil is allowed to flourish through the silence of good people; we pray for the courage to speak out the truth, whether it is popular or not.
- May all our listening at home, on the phone, at school and at work be done with our full attention to God’s voice and to one another, happy to grow wiser through each conversation.
- We pray for those whose pain screams silently and incessantly; for those who have no one to confide in, no one to listen. May the love of the Lord enfold them, his peace calm them and his healing transform them.
- In our life and in all our living may we be prepared for the life to come; we commend to the Lord’s keeping all those we have recently made their journey through death.
