Merciful God of our ancestors, your glory shines over the earth. In awe we pray:
Help us to listen, O God.
Strengthen a synodal model among Pope Francis, bishops, pastors, and the faithful.
Help us to listen, O God.
Scrutinize the deliberations of courts, lawyers, and lawmakers.
Help us to listen, O God.
Inspire the creativity of screenwriters, actors, and documentary film makers.
Help us to listen, O God.
Our Father . . .
May God awaken our minds, hearts, and will to all that is infused with the light of Christ, by the power of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
