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.
