Lord, by your cross and Resurrection you have set us free. In joy we pray: ℟. Saving God, hear our prayer.
Diffuse the peace of Christ throughout the earth, and safeguard all people who are persecuted for their faith. ℟.
Guide those gathered for the opening of the Synod 2026, and grant openness of heart and mind to all the faithful. ℟.
Inspire respectful and loving treatment of those who are in hospitals, care facilities, or assisted living. ℟.
Our Father . . .
May God heal us of every ill and make us worthy to share the life won for us in Christ Jesus our Lord. Amen.
