For all who are persecuted because of their faith and work for justice. May we find ways to support them spiritually and practically in their struggle.

For all who work in the area of communications. May they creatively and wisely use the potential at their disposal for promoting peace and for building bridges between people of different faiths and cultures.
(17th May: World Communications Day)

We join with those who are working to carry out the first Millenium Goal of the U.N “to eradicate extreme poverty and hunger, reducing by half the proportion of people living on less than a dollar a day and reducing by half the proportion of people who suffer from hunger”.

We thank God for Teresa Ball and her courage and energy in sending sisters to spread the Good News. Let us pray, accompany and support our sisters in the new foundations. (19th May: Anniversary of Teresa Ball and Mary Wright’s letter “Courage to move”.)

For the participants in the Conference of the World Council of Churches on the theme: “ Come, Holy Spirit, heal and reconcile”. May they, open to the Spirit, become ambassadors< of reconciliation.

Spirit of God, you are the stirring in our hearts. You urge us to get going. You encourage us not to give up. Make us receptive so that we will follow your loving movement within our lives. We trust in your powerful presence within us. Amen.

Our Lady of the Way, be with us on our journey.

The years come and go and we age, help us to find that creativ e balance between being active and being quiet.

Teach us to be thankful for all the gifts we have, reminding us that they are not ours to keep but on loan to make this world a better place.

Remind us that God’s love is always available for us and that God’s grace allows us to look back over our lives to affirm “it was better than I thought”.

Help us to keep on praying for loved ones and for God’s children everywhere.
