The Pope’s Intentions for September
Universal: That the mentally disabled may receive the love and help they need for a dignified life.
For Evangelisation: That Christians, inspired by the Word of God, may serve the poor and suffering.
With the Church in heaven and on earth
Let us glorify the Lord: Praise to You now and evermore!
With the Virgin Mary, your Mother,
We wish to listen to your Word.
With the patriarchs and prophets
We wish to announce your Kingdom.
With the apostles and evangelists
We wish to proclaim the Good News.
With all the disciples who answered your call
We wish to follow you.
With all the martyrs who offered you their bodies in sacrifice
We wish to give witness to you.
With the saints of all times
We wish to serve you.
With all those who believe in you
We offer you the obedience of our faith.
With all those who love you
We offer you our love.
With all those who seek you in the night
We wish to walk toward the light.
With all those who are unaware of your name
We wish to learn to love you.
With all those whom you invite to the banquet of the Kingdom
Invite us also, we beg you.
With all those whom you inscribe in the book of life,
Count us among your elect.
With all those who die in you
We place our hope in your mercy.
With all those who have risen with you
We sing your praises forever.
(Lucien Deiss, Biblical Prayers)
