1. That we may reach out to our brothers and sisters who are in pain and who are suffering during this holy season.  

2. For all of our bishops, especially Bishop Kopacz, that they lead all the people of the world in justice and peace. 

3. For all places in the world experiencing war, terrorism, violence, or unrest, for peace, healing and reconciliation.  

4. For those who are suffering from depression or mental health issues this holiday season, that they receive the help they need and feel love and support from God and the community of the faithful.  

5. That Christians may be ready to meet Christ when he comes, both at Christmas and in the end times. 

6. For the sick and the shut-in.  For those who need healing in body, mind, or spirit.  

7. On this first Friday of the month, for the intentions of the Sacred Heart of Jesus. 

7. For the repose of the souls of the faithful departed, and those prayers we hold in our hearts. 

Priest; Loving God, you want what is best for your people, hear our prayers and help us in our needs.  We make these prayers through your son Jesus Christ our Lord forever and ever. Amen.
