Lord let us always hear your voice and be guided by you. We bring our prayers confident of your constant love and care for us.

We pray for our Holy Father Pope Francis as he travels to Canada. May his visit be a time of healing, unity and reconciliation for the people of Canada and for the Church as it works to build a future of trust and  hope.  Lord hear us

We pray that families and society value the presence and role of grandparents and the elderly, may they never be ignored or excluded, but always encounter respect and love. Help them to live serenely and to feel welcomed in all the years of life which you give them. Lord hear us

We pray for those who feel lonely and isolated from society at this time, especially those with health conditions. Help us to recognise and respond to the vulnerable in our neighbourhood. Lord hear us

We remember families as many prepare for summer holidays. May their love for each other grow through their increased time together and may it be a time of rest and a source of happy memories. Help them to remain safe and protected. Lord hear us

Let us pause for a moment in silence as we bring to the Lord our personal prayers and intentions…………….. Lord hear us

We ask our blessed mother Mary to watch over and guide us as we pray; Hail Mary…………………………..

CELEBRANT

Heavenly Father, who is there for us at all times and in all places, we ask you to listen to our heartfelt prayers and bless us today with your spirit of wisdom, through Christ our Lord Amen
