Trusting in God’s abundant blessings, we direct our prayers to our loving Father.

- We pray that the Lord may send out more laborers to his harvest, asking especially for vocations to the priesthood, let us pray to the Lord.
- For the leaders of the Church,: the Pope, bishops, priests, deacons and all those in spiritual authority, let us pray to the Lord.
- For the leaders of our government: that they will lead wisely, in accord with God’s plan for our country and the world—and for a return to civility in our political discussions and an end to all divisions and discord—let us pray to the Lord.
- That the cease-fire between Israel and Iran, between the Congo and Rwanda—and hopefully in Gaza—may blossom into a lasting peace; and for peace in the Ukraine and throughout the world, let us pray to the Lord.
- For the success of this year’s Catholic Services Appeal, let us pray to the Lord.
- For God’s blessings upon the United States, as we celebrate our nation’s 249th birthday —and for an end to the culture of violence in our country, and a deeper respect for all human life, let us pray to the Lord.
