Loving and faithful God, you called St. John Neumann to serve you in faith and charity. In hope we pray: May your love and compassion fill the earth, O God.
Strengthen your Church’s proclamation of Christ through spiritual and corporal works of mercy.
May your love and compassion fill the earth, O God.
Inspire youth ministers, vocation promoters, and all who nurture the faith of young people.
May your love and compassion fill the earth, O God.
Prosper the efforts of peacemakers, diplomats, and those who work in the United Nations.
May your love and compassion fill the earth, O God.
Our Father . . .
May God strengthen us inwardly through the working of the Holy Spirit, that we may prefer nothing to the love of Christ. Amen.
