God of tranquility and calm, you fill us with the peace of Christ. In hope we pray: 

Hear our prayer, O God.  

Help us withhold words of judgment, and strengthen our efforts to communicate with respect. 

Hear our prayer, O God.  

Draw near to those who struggle with an addiction, and comfort their families and loved ones. 

Hear our prayer, O God.  

Inspire youth ministers, faith formation directors, and all who help us grow in understanding of our faith. 

Hear our prayer, O God.  

Our Father . . .  

May the kindness of God be with us all our days and the mercy of God extend through all generations, in Christ our Lord. Amen.
