God of salvation, you anointed Saints Cyril and Methodius as missionaries to the Slavic people. In company with them we pray: Hear us, O God.
Advance dialogue and understanding between Catholic and Orthodox Churches.
Hear us, O God.
Fashion your Church to be inclusive in our love.
Hear us, O God.
Help us to show understanding, kindness, and patience to children and adolescents.
Hear us, O God.
Our Father . . .
May God make us firm in faith and patient in our suffering, by the power of the Holy Spirit, through Jesus our redeemer. Amen.
