The saints. Their witness. Our prayers.
A quiet place to begin.
Take a moment to become still. Bring the people and concerns on your heart to God.
A prayer for today
God of mercy, help me to love you and serve my neighbor. Guide my words and actions today. Through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
A prayer for others
Loving God, I place before you those who need comfort, courage, and hope. Help me to notice their needs and to respond with kindness. Through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
Asking a saint to pray
Saint Joseph, pray for us, that we may be faithful in our responsibilities and generous in our care for others.
Pray in your own words
You can speak simply: name someone you are concerned about, give thanks, or ask for help to love more patiently. Catholic teaching invites us to ask the saints’ prayers for ourselves and for the whole world.
