God, our Father, Dios, wants us to trust Him and to celebrate our faith in our community. We are going to ask him today for the needs of our Church and of our community.

Father, listen to us and make us strong in you.

• We ask you, Father, for Pope Francis, for X our bishop, for all those who occupy posts of responsibility in our Church, may their welcome and tenderness be the factors that distinguish them most.

Father, listen to us and make us strong in you.

• We ask you, Father, for the young people who are going to get married, for the children in catechism, for the babies who are going to be baptised, for all those who find in Jesus the strength to live with cheerfulness.

Father, listen to us and make us strong in you.

• We ask you, Father, for those who suffer most in our community: for those who are sick, for those out of work, for those who have lost hope, so that we may be generous and loving with them.

Father, listen to us and make us strong in you.

• We ask you, Father, for the members of our families and friends who are with you, may the peace that they enjoy, enliven us and help us to be better each day.

Father, listen to us and make us strong in you.

Listen, Father, to our prayer. Increase our faith so we may be good followers and friends of Jesus.
