POPE'S PRAYER INTENTION

Monthly   Prayer

Good and Loving Father: 

Because we have been saved by 

your Son Jesus, 

the deceiver and father of lies

 hates us and stirs up persecution

 that, from the time of Jesus and of 

the early Church, 

continues to this day. 

The martyrs have had the grace

 to confess Jesus to the end, unto death.

 They suffer, they give their lives,

 and we receive 

God's blessing for their witness. 

May the memory of these ancient

 and recent heroic witnesses

 confirm us, O Lord, in the awareness 

that the Church 

is Church 

due to the sacrifice of martyrs. 

We pray to you today for the new 

hidden martyrs, 

those men and women 

faithful to the gentle power of love,

 to the voice of the Holy Spirit, who 

in their daily lives 

seek to help their brothers and

 sisters 

and to love God without

 reservation. 

The Church needs those who have

 the courage 

to accept the grace to be witnesses 

to the end, even unto death. 

They are the living blood

 of the Church,

 they are the witnesses who lead 

the Church forward; 

those who attest that Jesus is 

Risen, that He lives. 

May we learn through their

 coherence of life that 

with the strength of love, with 

meekness,

 we can fight against arrogance, 

violence and war. 

and with patience we can achieve 

peace.

 Amen

Offering Prayer

Good Father, I know you are with me. 

Here I am on this new day.

 Place my heart once more 

next to the Heart of your Son 

Jesus, 

who is giving himself for me and 

who comes to me in the Eucharist. 

May your Holy Spirit make me his 

friend and apostle, 

available for his mission of

 compassion. 

I place in your hands my joys 

and hopes, 

my works and sufferings,

 everything that I am and have, 

in communion with my brothers

 and sisters of this Worldwide 

Prayer Network. 

With Mary, I offer you my day for

 the mission of the Church

 and for the prayer intentions of the 

Pope and my Bishop for this

 month.

 Amen.
