Prayer For One And All

Beloved Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, We place before you all those dear to our hearts. We intercede for the ill, those in pain, the hungry, and the homeless. We pray for individuals of every belief and for those who believe in nothing at all. Listen to our heartfelt supplication for our Holy Father, the Pope, for bishops and church leaders, for everyone involved in both spiritual and secular professions. Bless your missionaries who carry the joyful message of salvation to distant lands. Support the overwhelmed, revive the hope of the discouraged, grant freedom to those suffering from injustice and persecution. Endow wisdom to judges, civil servants, and all people in positions of authority in society. Into your care, Lord Jesus Christ, I submit these prayers for all humanity. I beseech your mercy and compassion for every recognized and unrecognized need of humankind, since all authority belongs to you, on earth as it is in heaven.Amen.
