Wild Geranium ~ Madonna's Pins
On Mother's Day,/ we pray for our own mothers and grandmothers/ and any women who have mothered us along the way./ We pray for the world's mothers who are frightened for their children,/ women who are mothers already in their pregnancy./ We pray to the Lord.
We pray for those who leave their homes everyday to provide essential services for the good of the sick and the larger community./ For the conversion of those who resist helping in even the most simple ways,/ those who think only of themselves,/ or who have taken to menace and violence in their protest./ We pray to the Lord.
We pray with Pope Francis/ for those who are dying alone,/ without loved ones nearby,/ without prayer or companionship./ We ask blessings for the health care professionals who/ in the midst of their work,/ remain sensitive to this loneliness./ We pray to the Lord.

During this time of global sickness,/ we pray for those who have been elected to serve the health and safety of the people./ May they do so honestly,/ without greed or hidden agenda./ We pray to the Lord.
In Mary's Month of May,/ may we stand with her/ as among the Lord's first disciples,/ growing in our prayer,/ trust,/ inner listening/ and grateful joy./ We pray to the Lord.
The coronavirus epidemic has resulted in food chains disrupted and vast amounts of food being wasted,/ while many people are suddenly finding themselves without insufficient food./ We ask for the creativity and will to resolve these problems./ We pray to the Lord.
Remembering that Jesus died for everyone,/ we pray for the hundreds of thousands of people around the world who have died during this covid pandemic./ We pray for their families and friends who mourn them,/ and for their comforting./ We pray to the Lord.
