| St. Agnes of Rome |
Thursday is the Feast of Saint Agnes/ the girl-martyr./ We pray for Christians who are persecuted,/ in trouble or harassed./ And for other Christians who have grown spiritually bored,/ loveless or indifferent./ We pray to the Lord.
We pray for the endurance of those who are kind to us,/ who do us any good,/ who expect nothing in return./ And that we would take no one for granted./ We pray to the Lord.
We pray for those whose heart's desire is to enjoy peace and security for their loved ones,/ to live in re-established community,/ and the blessings of their land./ We pray to the Lord.
Pope Francis will visit Mexico in February,/ the Land of the Guadalupe,/ but also a land of poverty,/ struggle,/ violence and fear./ We pray for the Mexican people/ and ask blessings for the pope in his journey./ We pray to the Lord.
We ask for new direction where hearts have grown hardened,/ prideful or intolerant./ Guide our families where there is trouble or sadness/ or where we have lost our way./ We pray to the Lord.
Re-assure the sick of your presence:/ the elderly,/ the heavy-burdened and frail./ Bless those who care for others in hospitals,/ nursing homes,/ orphanages and hospices./ Give to those who have died,/ the greatest joy of your fully shared life and love./ We pray to the Lord.
