PRAYER INTENTIONS
OF THE HOLY FATHER, POPE LEO,
ENTRUSTED TO HIS WORLDWIDE PRAYER NETWORK FOR EACH MONTH
JANUARY
For prayer with the Word of God.
Let us pray that praying with the Word of God be nourishment for our lives and a source of
hope in our communities, helping us to build a more fraternal and missionary Church.
Please remember in your prayers those of our parish who are sick and those who care for them.
Father of goodness and love, hear our prayers for the sick members of our community and for all who are in need. Amid mental and physical suffering may they find consolation in your healing presence. Show your mercy as you close wounds, cure illness, make broken bodies whole and free downcast spirits. May these special people find lasting health and deliverance, and so join us in thanking you for all your gifts. We ask this through the Lord Jesus who healed those who believed. Amen.

We pray for the world, that in this moment of crisis, we may reach out in solidarity to our brothers and sisters in need. May we walk in your ways so that peace and justice become a reality for the people of Ukraine and for all the world. Amen.
