Triune God, you call us to be one in you. In gladness we pray: O God, hear us.
You guide us by your counsel: give Pope Francis the graces he needs to shepherd your Church in love and mercy.
O God, hear us.
You strengthen our hearts: give us courage to take time for solitude and prayer.
O God, hear us.
You are present when we gather in your name: strengthen the bonds of community in parishes.
O God, hear us.
Our Father . . .
May God favor us with the joy of communion in the Holy Spirit, and put a song of praise on our lips, through Jesus our peace. Amen.
