Let us show our love for our neighbour, as we pray for all those who are in need.

For the Church. May her work of caring for the needy, and proclaiming God’s holy Word be spread throughout all lands and seas.
Lord in your mercy.
Let us thank God for the world’s bounty, for its fruits of land and sea, and for the creativity of different nations and cultures. May we be neighbours to all who we meet.
Lord in your mercy.
For all who are far from home and loved ones, who know the pain of isolation, anxiety and fear, and who long for friendship and support. May the love of God be shown to them wherever they are.
Lord in your mercy.
For refugees and all those who have fled conflict in search of peace. Grant them safe havens and support to rebuild their lives.
Lord in your mercy
Let us turn to Our Lady, Star of the Sea, to intercede for us as we say, Hail Mary…
Let us pray for our own intentions in silence.
PRIEST
God our loving Father, we pray that you will accept these prayers in the name of your Son, our Lord Jesus Christ
