God of our ancestors, you favored your servants Joachim and Anne to be the parents of the Mother of Jesus. In company with them we pray: 

Teach us your ways, O God.  

Bless and prosper dialogue among Pope Francis, bishops, and all your Church in our synodal journey. 

Teach us your ways, O God.  

Sensitize us to the cares of the young and the most vulnerable in the Church and society. 

Teach us your ways, O God.  

Strengthen the bonds of love and hospitality in families and faith communities. 

Teach us your ways, O God.  

Our Father . . .  

May God bless us with all the gifts of the Spirit we need to grow in love, justice, and holiness, through Jesus, the Holy One of Israel. Amen.
