| John the Baptist came preaching in the wilderness of Judea Matthew 3:1 |
Meeting John the Baptist in the Gospel today,/ we pray to be more brave as Christians:/ voices crying out in the wilderness of the world's argument and even violent disunity./ We pray to the Lord.
Approaching the winter solstice,/ the time of the greatest darkness,/ we pray to grow in our consciousness of the inner darkness which causes us confusion,/ fear,/ depression and loneliness./ We pray not to despair/ or submit to cynicism./ We pray to the Lord.

Thursday is the Feast of Mary's Conception./ We ask for our lives to be blessed/ as from our own conception/ we have also been created and called to be God's servants./ We pray to the Lord.
Hundreds of people have been recently elected to public office in our country./ We pray for them to be deeply human persons who seek the good of all,/ and to be steadfast where they are tempted to corruption and power abuse./ We pray to the Lord.
At the start of December we pray for all who celebrate birthdays,/ anniversaries and other days of remembrance,/ asking for the blessings of good health,/ peace and safety./ We pray to the Lord.
As the winter-time approaches/ we pray for those who are homeless,/ friendless and needy./ Grant us generous and aware hearts in the holiday time./ We pray to the Lord.
For the sick and anyone living in chronic pain./ For those who give themselves to the care of the sick/ and for those who in their weakness are left untended./ And we pray too for those who have died./ We pray to the Lord.
