Tuesday is the Feast of St. Kateri Tekawitha/ the country's first Native American saint./ We pray for native peoples on every continent/ as they are often exploited and degraded,/ asking forgiveness for the national sins committed against them./ We pray to the Lord.
From South America/ Pope Francis has asked us to pray for the miracle which will heal and renew the world's families./ We pray for homes which have become sad and lonely/ dysfunctional and violent places./ We pray to the Lord.
We pray for those who have been cast away in our culture,/ those who are left out and longing for love./ We pray to the Lord.
We pray for the many people whose work benefits us./ For those who are out of work/ or whose work is dangerous,/ tedious/ or poorly compensated./ We pray to the Lord.
For summer travelers./ For those who suffer from the heat/ or who live where there is drought or destructive fires./ We pray to the Lord.
For those who are displaced,/ migrant or homeless./ For the world's children,/ the weak and the elderly who suffer./ We pray to the Lord.
