Today is the Feast of All Saints./ That we would not admire the saints/ so much as desire to be saints/ with hearts made new by the love of God:/ compassionate,/ generous and kind./ We pray to the Lord.
There are forty-three million displaced persons in the world today./ Bring help to those who are over-whelmed by the loss of home,/ nation,/ loved-ones and livelihood./ Bless those who search for solutions/ and those who offer practical help./ We pray to the Lord.

As the autumn darkness increases in our hemisphere/ bring to light those places of darkness within/ where there is hatred,/ ignorance,/ prejudice or fear./ We pray to the Lord.
Restore families where relationships have broken down,/ where there is violence,/ selfishness or addiction./ We pray to the Lord.
We pray for hatred to be rejected among Christians,/ Jews and Muslims./ We ask for every religion to discover anew its best reasons for friendship and peace./ We pray to the Lord.
The bishops of the Philippines have called our God-given, planet-home a wonderland of beauty and life./ Forgive the sins of planet-exploitation and greed,/ give us new hearts/ born of grateful courtesy and love for this earth./ We pray to the Lord.
Strengthen those who live with disabilities,/ wounds,/ chronic sickness,/ depression and fatigue./ Delight those who are departed with your promises-come-true of life and joy./ We pray to the Lord.
