This weekend we mark the summer solstice,/ the year's longest day and shortest night./ May we live in the fullness of Christ's light:/ his asking us to love God and others./ We pray to the Lord.
Terrible fires are already burning out of control in the western states./ Are there parts of our country becoming uninhabitable?/ We pray for that change of heart and mind which takes most seriously the saving of our planet./ We pray to the Lord.
June is the month of graduations,/ weddings and ordinations./ We ask the blessings of good health,/ safety and new energy,/ for those who are living in a time of transition./ We pray to the Lord
Our President has returned from his first international trip./ May we enact the words of Pope Paul VI,/ "If you want peace, create justice."/ Protect us from persons of power who obstruct progress./ We pray to the Lord.
We pray for the many who have lost everything,/ health,/ peace of mind,/ family,/ faith,/ livelihood,/ sense of purpose,/ income,/ home./ For restoration and the strength of endurance./ We pray to the Lord.
We pray for our families and families everywhere,/ mindful of those carrying heavy burdens or who are far away./ For persons living in despair,/ cynicism or fear./ For the healing of those who live by violence or criminality./ We pray to the Lord.
