At the start of November,/ we pray for family and friends who celebrate birthdays,/ anniversaries and other days of remembrance,/ asking for good health,/ safety and peace./ We pray to the Lord.
November begins with double feasts of saints and souls./ May our gratitude for each other grow,/ may our God-given relationships be freed of manipulation,/ neediness and selfishness./ We pray to the Lord.
Pope Francis teaches/ that all human persons are entitled to live in a family,/ and that no one may be thrown away./ May we/ who venerate the Holy Family,/ be spiritually awake and mature enough/ to understand./ We pray to the Lord.
Election Day approaches,/ we pray to be heart-intelligent in our voting,/ sensitive to/ and protective of life wherever God has breathed it into existence./ We pray to the Lord.
During these long months of coronavirus sickness,/ we pray for those who are exhausted,/ frustrated,/ lonely or sick with fear./ For those who carry on/ doing brave and generous work./ We pray to the Lord.
It has recently been disclosed that 545 Mexican children/ three years after their separation,/ are still isolated at the nation's border/ their parents missing./ May we be a truly pro-life country,/ troubled deeply at this awful national error./ We pray to the Lord.
Fires in the western states burn out of control,/ while coronavirus spreads in many states out of control./ May we learn from our mistakes,/ in humility,/ repent,/ and boldly embrace a new way,/ born of the Lord's commandment to love one another./ We pray to the Lord.
