As Lent begins,/ grant that each of us at Mass today,/ and the Christians of other churches,/ would experience some new personal growth or renewal/ on our way to Easter./ We pray to the Lord.
We ask strength,/ safety and blessings for those around the world who are first responders/ wherever there is terror,/ disaster or accident./ We pray to the Lord.
During Lent,/ may we learn to see the good in others;/ love and compassion for all./ May we see possibilities for growth in everyone./ We pray to the Lord.
The Olympic Games continue in South Korea for another week./ May we recognize the dignity and value of every nation on earth./ We pray that peace and collaboration would grow out of these weeks of sport./ We pray to the Lord.
We pray to be freed of those negative characteristics which divide and weaken:/ our phobias,/ pride,/ vanity,/ narrow or petty judgments,/ our admiration of power./ We pray to the Lord.
We pray for the rich countries to learn charity and justice./ That famine would be banished/ and people everywhere strengthened to serve God with untroubled hearts./ We pray to the Lord.
Grant the blessings of good health and protection to family members,/ friends and all we know./ May they grow in maturity and discover inner peace./ We pray to the Lord.
