Today we remember the great sadness of September 11, 2001./ We pray for the inner healing of so many family and friends who lost loved ones that day,/ and for the health of 9/11 first-responders and helpers./ We pray to the Lord.
Last Sunday/ Mother Teresa of Calcutta was canonized a saint./ We pray to learn well her simple teaching:/ To do small things with great love./ We pray to the Lord.
We pray for the Church/ and for our country,/ that we would keep our faces heavenward,/ lest we grow hard of heart./ We pray to the Lord.

Let us pray for the many who need protection and help./ For babies in the womb to be kept safe,/ for those who care for the elderly and the sick,/ for anyone facing difficult decisions,/ for those who are homesick./ We pray to the Lord.
Students and teachers have returned to school./ We pray blessings for all,/ and that we would love learning./ We pray to the Lord.
Wednesday is the Feast of the Exaltation of the Holy Cross./ We pray for the up-lifting of those who feel defeated,/ depressed,/ overwhelmed or despairing./ And for Christians who suffer imprisonment,/ abuse,/ pain and even death in troubled parts of the world./ We pray to the Lord.
Finally/ we pray for those who have died:/ among them children trapped in poverty and domestic violence,/ war and disaster./ And for our own salvation./ We pray to the Lord.
