God of our ancestors, your faithful love endures forever. In hope we pray: Favor us, O God.
Direct efforts to preserve and protect the beauty of creation.
Favor us, O God.
Sensitize your Church to listen carefully to the concerns and needs of families.
Favor us, O God.
Give wisdom and compassion to hospice and social workers.
Favor us, O God.
Our Father . . .
May we prefer nothing to the love of Christ, and may he bring us together to everlasting life. Amen.
