Priest: Let us now bring our prayers to our heavenly Father for our needs, the needs of the Church, and the needs of the world:
1. That Christ will unite us in being witnesses to the Gospel, in better understanding of each other, and in working together in helping those in need.
2. For Pope Francis and all Church leaders, that the Holy Spirit will guide them in proclaiming the Good News, promoting unity in the Church, and inspiring us to greater love and service.
3. That God will bring us to new life and help those who are bound by addiction, temptation, or destructive habits, to help them recognize that their faith can help them.
4. For those who are recovering from natural disasters, that the Lord will relieve their pain, give them strength of spirit, and get them the assistance they need.
5. For greater stewardship of the earth: that our hearts may be moved as we behold the wondrous work of God in nature and that we may care for it so that future generations may see God's work.
6. For our deceased loved ones and family members, for their entry into eternal life.
7. For the prayers we hold in the silence of our hearts.
Priest: With faith and hope, we present our prayers through your son, Jesus Christ, our Lord forever and ever. AMEN.
