Let us now join our hearts and voices in prayer to our Father in heaven for the needs of every member of our human family:
-For our Church and parish community, that Christ's peace and a dedication to thankfulness may reign in our life together: let us pray to the Lord.
-For parents, guardians, and teachers, that they may always realize the preciousness of the young lives in their care: let us pray to the Lord.
-For children and young people, that they may learn and grow in wisdom and grace within the joy of a loving family: let us pray to the Lord.
-For children who are lost and abandoned and for children who have been abducted, that, through God's loving providence, they will return to their homes quickly and safely: let us pray to the Lord.
-For families in crisis, for families in mourning, for families estranged and separated, that Christ may be present to them in the loving support of neighbors and friends: let us pray to the Lord.
-For all our family members and friends who have died [especially that they may live in the presence of God forever: let us pray to the Lord.
-For the prayers we now make in the silence of our hearts [Pause. . .]: let us pray to the Lord.
Hear the prayers of your family gathered around your table, O Lord. As Jesus taught us to call you "Father," " may we learn to respect and love one another as brothers and sisters. We offer these prayers in the name of your Son, Jesus, the Christ.
