• We pray for Pope Leo XIV as he continues to speak out for refugees and those suffering in these times.
   

• For our local Church members, Lord, make us "bridge builders" able to create paths for God’s love to reach from the Altar to the streets.
   

• For the earth and for those suffering because of our abuse of our common home.
   

• Help us make good choices and reach new solutions to give future generations a healthy home.  
   

• Lord, make us your hands and feet, your mercy and hope, your love in this world You so loved that you put us here now- in this time in history.
