That Pope N., Bishop N., Father N., and our Church’s bishops, priests, and ministers may be effective prophets of the justice and mercy of God: let us pray to the Lord.

That President N., Governor N., and the leaders of nations, states, and cities may lead their peoples with the authority born of wisdom and selflessness: let us pray to the Lord.

That God’s Spirit of peace and love may dwell within all families and households: let us pray to the lord.

That the sick and the dying, the powerless and the addicted, may be restored to health and hope: let us pray to the Lord.

That our deceased relatives and friends [especially _________], may be reborn in the new life of the Risen Christ: let us pray to the Lord.

That God will hear the prayers we now offer in the silence of our hearts [Pause...]: let us pray to the Lord.

We come to you in hope, O Lord, knowing that you will hear the prayers we ask in faith. May your Spirit of wisdom and truth rest upon us always so that we may be prophets of your great love. Grant these prayers we offer. in the name of your Son, Jesus Christ.
