For all who are suffering for their faith: that God will protect them from harm, help them to remain faithful to the Gospel, and guide them each day: let us pray to the Lord.
For all recovering from natural disasters, particularly the people of Jamaica: that God will give them courage, speed the assistance which they need, and protect them from further harm: let us pray to the Lord.

For an end to the shut-down of the Government: that God will open hears to dialogue and inspire leaders to pursue the common good for all Americans: let us pray to the Lord.
For Peace: that God will open new opportunities for dialogue in all areas of violence, protect the innocent from harm, and inspire new respect for human life: let us pray to the Lord.
For all who have died, particularly all veterans and our family members and friends: that they may share in Christ's peace and be raised on the last day: let us pray to the Lord.
Grant that as we serve you now on earth, so we may one day rejoice with all the saints in your kingdom of light and peace, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
