Priest: With joyful heart, let us present our prayers to our heavenly Father:
1. We pray that our Church and our leaders have the grace of wisdom to honestly confront our failings and to walk humbly together toward wholeness and holiness.
2. We pray that Pope Francis and all our bishops have the grace of discernment to lead us with courage to be channels of love, peace, justice and healing in our world.
3. That we may be freed from any ambition for wealth, status or power. That our hearts be compassionate and selfless in order to serve others.
4. We pray that our children and youth have their minds opened with understanding and their hearts filled with faith.
5. For all in need of our prayers. That God may comfort those who are anxious, depressed or in pain.
6. For the needs of our beloved sick, dying and grieving. For the souls of the faithful departed.
7. For the intentions we hold in the silence of our hearts.
Priest: We make these prayers through your son Jesus Christ, our Lord forever and ever. AMEN.
