• Open Wide Our Hearts

  In an effort to embrace the humanity of all our brothers and sisters and in opposition to the culture of racism, let us pray for the conversion of our communities and our nation.
  
  As in all things, we turn to prayer, asking Our Blessed Mother to intercede on our behalf:

  Mary, friend and mother to all,
  through your Son, God has found a way
  to unite himself to every human being,
  called to be one people,
  sisters and brothers to each other.
  
  We ask for your help in calling on your Son,
  Seeking forgiveness for the times when
  we failed to love and respect one another.
  
  We ask for your help in obtaining from your Son
  The grace we need to overcome the evil of racism
  and to build a just society.
  
  We ask for your help in following your Son,
  so that prejudice and animosity
  will no longer infect our minds or hearts
  but will be replaced with a love that respects
  the dignity of each person.
  
  Mother of the Church
  The Spirit of your Son Jesus
  Warm our hearts:

• Prayer for Vocations

  "Father you call each one of us by
  name and ask us to follow you.
  
  Bless your church by raising
  up dedicated and generous
  leaders from our families
  and friends who will serve
  your people as Sisters, Priests,
  Brothers, Deacons, and Lay Ministers.
  
  Inspire us as we grow to
  know you, and open our hearts
  to hear your call.
  
  We ask this in Jesus name.  Amen."
