At the start of November we call to mind those who will celebrate birthdays,/ anniversaries,/ and other days of remembrance this month./ We ask the blessings of peace,/ good-health and encouragement / We pray to the Lord.
We pray for Pope Francis who has undertaken the work of much needed reform in our Church./ We ask for a new out-pouring of the spirit-gifts of humility,/ courage and hope./ We pray to the Lord.
Civilians suffer terribly in wars/ not just soldiers./ And so we pray for the children and the elderly caught in armed conflicts./ For those whose lives are ruined and reduced to despair./ We pray to the Lord.
Early in November there is the remembrance of Kristallnacht: The Night of Broken Glass/ - the official start of the Holocaust./ We ask for antisemitism to be driven from the heart of every Christian./ We pray to the Lord.
We entrust to God's care the families of the world/ in all their forms:/ aware of the needs for healing,/ reconciliation,/ sustenance,/ peace and stability./ We pray to the Lord.
At the altar we stand in a prayerful solidarity with Christians far away where there is persecution and suffering./ We ask for the expansion of our hearts;/ that we would not lose compassion./ We pray to the Lord.

In November we pray for the dead./ We pray for those who have died suddenly with no time to prepare,/ those who die in wars,/ by accident or neglect./ We pray to the Lord.
