Shepherd of Israel, in Jesus you free us from the death of sin. In hope we pray:

God, in your mercy, hear our prayer.

Shine the light of your face on those who are struggling in their faith.

God, in your mercy, hear our prayer.

Gladden the hearts of those who seek you in the single vocation.

God, in your mercy, hear our prayer.

Heal those who suffer from insomnia, anxiety, or trauma.

God, in your mercy, hear our prayer.

Our Father . . .

May almighty God have mercy on us, forgive us our sin, and bring us to everlasting life, in Jesus our brother. Amen.
