Holy God, you are the praise of all the saints. We acclaim the wonders you have worked through those who cling to you, and we pray: God of the living, hear our prayer.   

Strengthen your Church to be a sign of hope as we seek to witness God’s reign in which the poor, the hungry, and the most vulnerable come first 

God of the living, hear our prayer.   

Guide Pope Francis, bishops, and all Church leaders in their collaboration with the faithful for the Synod.  

God of the living, hear our prayer.   

Give wisdom and courage to those who are discerning a vocation.  

God of the living, hear our prayer.   

Our Father . . . 

May the fire of the Holy Spirit inflame us and move us into God, through Jesus our brother. Amen.
