We pray to the Lord that he may continue to pour out his gifts on the Church, so that many may be saved and our faith may grow strong and bear much fruit.
We pray to the Lord that he may look with mercy on the conflicts of our world; that we may realign our values and goals until they are in line with his will, and our laws and expectations reflect his justice and love.
We pray to the Lord that he may bless our homes and families and all our neighbors and friends; may we listen to one another with full attention, and recognize one another’s gifts.
We pray to the Lord that he may encourage the hesitant, curb the overpowering, heal the sick, refresh the exhausted, open the eyes of the complacent, and comfort all who are sad.
We pray to the Lord that he may welcome into eternity all those who have died in faith; may we in our turn share with them the joy of living in his peace for ever.
