Universal:   That all who suffer loneliness may experience the closeness of God and the support of others.

For Evangelisation:  That young seminarians and religious may have wise and well-formed mentors.

 

Prayer for the Dead

God of infinite mercy, we entrust to your immense goodness all those who have left this world for eternity, where you await all humanity, redeemed by the precious blood of Christ Your Son, who died to save us from our sins.

Look not Lord, at our poverty, misery and human weaknesses when we present ourselves before you to be judged in happiness or condemned.

Gaze upon us with pity, born of your tender heart and help us to walk the path of purification. May none of your children be lost to the eternal fires of hell, where repentance is no more.

We entrust to you Lord, the souls of our beloved departed, of those who died without the comfort of the Sacraments or who did not have opportunity to repent, not even at the end of their life.

May no one fear the encounter with You at the end of their earthly pilgrimage, in the hope of being welcomed within the embrace of your infinite mercy. May sister death find us in prayerful vigilance, and full of all the good we have done during our existance, be it long or short.

Lord may nothing distance us from you on this earth. May everything and everyone support us in our ardent hope to serenely and eternally rest in you.   Amen.

 (Pope Francis on the 2nd November 2014)

Universal Prayer

Composed by Father Joseph Wresinski, October 17, 1987, Notre Dame Cathedral, Paris

For these millions of children twisted by the pain of hunger, no longer able to smile, yet still yearning to love. For these millions of young people, who have no reason to believe or even to exist, and who vainly search for a future in this sensless world.

Our Father we pray to you, Send hands to reap your harvest.

For these millions of men, women and children, whose hearts are still pounding strong to the beat of struggle, whose minds rise in revolt against the unjust fate imposed upon them, whose courage demands the right to priceless dignity.

Our Father we pray to you, Send hands to reap your harvest.

For these millions of children, women and men who do not want to codemn, but to love, to pray, to work and to unite, so that a world of solidarity may be born. A world, our world, in which all people would have given the best of themselves before dying.

Our Father we pray to you, Send hands to reap your harvest.

May all those who pray find a hearing in God’s presence and receive from Him the power to remove misery from humanity, the humanity created in His image.

Our Father we pray to you, Send hands to reap your harvest.

Pope John Paul 11 chose this prayer to open the 1997 Paris World Youth Days.

A Prayer for our Families

Father, grant to all families the presence of strong and

wise spouses who may be the source of a free and united

family.

 

Father grant that parents may have a home in which to

live in peace with their families.

Father grant that children may be a sign of trust and hope,

and that young people may have the courage to forge

life-long faithful commitments.

 

Father grant to all that they may be able to earn bread

with their hands, that they may enjoy serenity of spirit

and that they may keep aflame the torch of faith even in

periods of darkness.

 

Father grant that we may all see flourish a Church that is

ever more faithful and credible. A just and human city,

a world that loves truth, justice and mercy. AMEN.

(Taken from the Message at the end of the recent Synod on the Family)

World Mission Sunday  –  A Prayer

God of truth and love, Father, Son and Holy Spirit, hear our prayer for those who do not know you.

That they may come to a saving knowledge of the truth and that your name may be praised among all the peoples of the world.

Sustain, inspire and enlighten your servants who bring them the Gospel. Bring fresh vigour to wavering faith: sustain our faith when it is still fragile.

Continually renew missionary zeal in ourselves and in the Church; raise up new missionaries who will follow you to the ends of the world.

Make us witnesses to your goodness, full of love, strength and faith for your glory and for the salvation of the entire world.

We make this prayer through Christ Our Lord. Amen.

Day for Life Prayer

We thank you, Lord,

for the gift of life.

 

Holy Mary, Mother of Love,

holding in your arms

the fruit of your womb,

graciously look upon our earth and remove from it

all that hardens our hearts and dims our eyes

to the preciousness of human life,

from the moment of conception to natural death.

 

Through the example of your tenderness

teach us the ways of compassion and love

that we may build up the civilisation of love among us

and a society that is truly worthy of the human person.

 

Help us to reject all that contributes to a culture of death,

and to work with others of goodwill

in promoting the culture of life.

 

Bring us ever closer to your Son,

so that we may know the fullness of life that he offers us

and come to know that life more perfectly,

with you, and all the angels and saints,

in the eternal life of Heaven.

Amen.

 

The Prayer of Pope Francis for the Synod on the Family that begins today

Jesus, Mary and Joseph

in you we contemplate

the spendour of true love,

to you we turn with trust.

 

Holy Family of Nazareth,

grant that our families too

may be places of communion and prayer,

authentic schools of the Gospel

and small domestic Churches.

 

Holy Family of Nazareth,

may families never again

experience violence, rejection and division:

may all who have been hurt or scandalised

find ready comfort and healing.

 

Holy Family of Nazareth,

may the approaching Synod of Bishops

make us once more mindful

of the sacredness and inviolability of the family,

and its beauty in God’s plan.

 

Jesus, Mary and Joseph, graciously hear our prayer.

Amen.
