Prayer for the Synodal Process
We stand before You, Holy Spirit, as we gather together in Your name.
With You alone to guide us, make Yourself at home in our hearts; Teach us the way we must go and how we are to pursue it.
We are weak and sinful; do not let us promote disorder.
Do not let ignorance lead us down the wrong path
nor partiality influence our actions.
Let us find in You our unity so that we
may journey toogether to eternal life
and not stray from the way of truth and what is right.
All this we ask of You, who are at work
in every place and time, in communion of
the Father and the Son, forever and ever.
Amen.
Prayer for Peace in Ukraine
We offer our prayer for peace in solidarity with the Holy Father, Pope Francis for Peace in Ukraine.
We ask for the intercession of St. Michael the Archangel the Patron Saint of Ukraine, to bring peace and hope to this nation and its people.
Lord, look down with mercy and compassion on Your humble servants, and out of love for mankind hearken and have mercy on us and on the land of Ukraine.
Lift up those who fight in defense of Ukraine and her much suffering people, outnumbered though they be.
With deep compassion and mercy enlighten and make glad the hearts of the civil authorities and strengthened them by Your might.
St. Michael the Archangel Pray for us.
Prayer To Saint Michael The Archangel
Saint Michael the Archangel,
defend us in battle.
Be our defense against the wickedness and snares of the Devil.
May God rebuke him, we humbly pray,
and do thou,
O Prince of the heavenly hosts,
by the power of God,
Cast into hell Satan,
and all the evil spirits,
who prowl about the world
seeking the ruin of souls.
Amen
The Prayer of St. Francis
Lord, make me an instrument of your peace,
Where there is hatred, let me sow love;
Where there is injury, pardon;
Where there is doubt, faith;
Where there is despair, hope;
Where there is darkness, light;
Where there is sadness, joy;
O Divine Master,
Grant that I may not so much seek
To be consoled as to console;
To be understood as to understand;
To be loved as to love.
For it is in giving that we receive;
It is in pardoning that we are pardoned;
And it is in dying that we are born to eternal life.
Amen
