The return of birds each spring is a sign of hope restored./ We pray not to become embittered cynics,/ lost in negativity and ungrateful grumbling./ May we keep our sights set on Easter,/ and the wonder of Christ's bright rising./ We pray to the Lord.
For the President of the United States,/ our Congress and world leaders./ May they realize the only real power/ is the Rule of God's Kingdom./ May they be instruments of God's generosity,/ justice and mercy./ We pray to the Lord.
Pope Francis/ reflecting on the nations which lead the global arms trade/ speaks of:/ "The economic system that orbits around money,/ the industry of death,/ the greed that harms us all."/ May we be brave and creative in finding new ways to build a genuinely peaceful world./ We pray to the Lord.
For the people around us at Mass today,/ may they and their families be of good health,/ good faith,/ good will,/ and good cheer./ We pray to the Lord.
In this season of thawing and warming,/ we pray for those we do not love rightly,/ or do not love at all./ For those who live un-befriended/ and in loneliness./ We pray to the Lord.
We pray for the sick entrusted to our prayer./ For those who live in chronic pain or weakness./ For the healing of any who are emotionally or spiritually unwell./ And as the light increases these days,/ we pray for those who live in inner darkness./ We pray to the Lord.
