We pray for the many who are sick with the coronavirus,/ and their families,/ for those who are quarantined,/ the volunteers who are helping,/ the doctors,/ nurses and lab workers,/ the elderly in nursing homes,/ and those in prison./ We pray to the Lord.
For Pope Francis,/ who celebrates his 7th anniversary as pope this week,/ and who helps us to have the mind of Christ./ For those who resent or even resist him./ In the Lenten time,/ may the Church experience something of the springtime Christ desires for us./ We pray to the Lord.
One in seven children suffers hunger in our country./ We ask for a new awareness of God's justice,/ that the sin and scandal of child-hunger would be resolved and forgiven./ We pray to the Lord.
We pray with St. Paul at Mass today,/ that we would not become discouraged or cynical,/ but remain confident in God's love which emboldens us to live and act in the Holy Spirit./ We pray to the Lord.
We pray for those who lead nations and states around the world,/ may they be mature souls,/ who pattern self-forgetting,/ non-aggression and goodness./ We pray to the Lord.
For our families and friends,/ and those with us at Mass today./ We ask for good health,/ safety,/ well-being,/ inner freedom and peace./ We pray to the Lord.
