We pray for our Holy Father Pope Francis, that he may continue to be a beacon of hope and light inspiring the world to recognise the need for peace and reconciliation. Lord hear us

The fragile beauty of God’s wonderful creation is so often spoilt and compromised by greed and selfishness. We pray that people of every nation will recognise the need to support projects that aim to preserve the integrity of natural resources for the future wellbeing of our planet. Lord hear us

We pray for peace of mind and heart for those who are terminally ill and for their family, friends and carers May their time together be filled with hope and compassion. Lord hear us

As schools prepare to open for the new academic year, we ask God to bless all school children, students, teaching staff and their families. We pray that they will be safe and free from infection. May the new academic year be one of hope and joy. 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 Mary our mother to watch over and guide us as we pray; Hail Mary……………………………………
