Prayer of the Faithful
God’s love is everlasting. Let us give thanks as we present our prayers.
For Pope Francis, who was entrusted with the care of the Church,
may he enter the joy of God’s kingdom where there is no more sorrow and no more tears.
that the Holy Spirit will guide them as they discern God’s will in choosing the next Pope.
that as we remember the mercy of God, we may show that mercy to others.
For all who have suffered miscarriages,
that in their moments of suffering and grief they feel the support and comfort of Christ.
For people who bring communities together,
that their efforts may be a blessing to all who seek meaningful fellowship.
O God, who cured the sick at the hand of your apostles, work new signs and wonders for us. Through Christ our Lord. Amen.
