That the whole world may acknowledge that Jesus is the Son of God, and that the way to peace is to listen to Him, we pray to the Lord...

That all parents, priests, teachers, and catechists may be effective as they impart the teachings of God's Son to our children, we pray to the Lord...
For the safety of our military and the security of our country, we pray to the Lord...
For all those who feel alone because of personal or professional problems, or because their rights are not respected, we pray to the Lord...
That the sick may be comforted and healed, and that those who have died may share the joys of heaven, we pray to the Lord...

Father,
Hear our prayers,
And may our observance of Lent
Make us ever more faithful to You.
We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen.
