God of our desire, you draw us to your divine heart.
In hope we pray: ℟. Call us to you, O God.

Give compassion and grace to catechists, pastors,
deacons, and confessors. ℟.

Unite us in efforts to ensure that all people have adequate
food, safety, and shelter. ℟.

Help us to be transparent, persevering, and patient in
our prayer. ℟.

Our Father . . .

May the peace of Christ reign in our hearts, now and
forever. Amen.
