Prayer Intentions
-
“The death and resurrection of Jesus is the heart of our faith and the basis of our hope…
In facing death, which appears to be the end of everything, we have the certainty that…life is changed not ended.” (Pope Francis)As we endeavour to uphold the legacy of our beloved Pope Francis;
- We pray for the repose of his soul, so aptly returned to God this Easter.
- We pray for the poor and the marginalised. For Pope Francis, caring for the poor was a daily mission. In his words, “the poor are not a burden; they are the heart of the Gospel.”
- We pray for all who dwell on Earth, our common home. May everyone heed Pope Francis’s call to love nature like St Francis of Assisi and do everything in their power to care for creation.
- We pray for peace throughout the world and in each others’ hearts. Pope Francis’s message of peace was not just a cry for an absence of war but for the presence of justice, dialogue and fraternity.
- We pray to our Holy Mother Mary and for all mothers, always grateful for their gifts of love and service in our families. Pope Francis believed that our heavenly Mother and our earthly mothers are models for God’s love in the world.
