May our religion not be privatized this Feast of the Holy Trinity,/ but communal,/ modeling ourselves on the relationship of the three divine persons of God's inner life./ We pray for those who suffer without family,/ community or friendship./ We pray to the Lord.
It is Memorial Day weekend./ And as we pray for those who have died in battle,/ may be remember that every nation has its own memorial day./ Grant that we may vigorously explore the creation of a world of peace/ which is rooted in justice. We pray to the Lord.
Friday is Global Day for Parents./ We pray for mothers and fathers who have the care of children,/ asking protection,/ strength and perseverance./ For those whose families are destabilized by wars,/ disease,/ disaster or lack of opportunity./ We pray to the Lord.
Grant that we would not despair by so much troubling news,/ but retain a sense of awe and gratitude this season of planting,/ transformation,/ renewal and birth./ We pray to the Lord.
We pray for our dear ones and those who are with us at Mass today,/ asking for gifts of good health,/ safety and endurance./ For those we need to forgive./ May we not be distracted or fatigued by resentment./ We pray to the Lord.
We pray for those who are saddened by violence or abandonment,/ tragedy or losses./ For the healing of all who carry emotional wounds,/ long held guilt or fear./ We pray to the Lord.
