Gracious God, your only law is love. Following the example of Mary, Mother of Jesus, we pray: 

Dwell in our hearts, O God.  

Give spiritual strength and wisdom in teaching to Pope Francis and all bishops. 

Dwell in our hearts, O God.  

Speak peace into the crisis in Israel and Gaza, and protect civilians from further suffering. 

Dwell in our hearts, O God.  

Transform the mindset of oppressive regimes. 

Dwell in our hearts, O God.  

Our Father . . .  

May God bless us and deliver us from every evil, through Christ, by the power of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
