Apostleship of Prayer

Each month the Pope entrusts a prayer intention to his Worldwide Prayer Network, the Apostleship of Prayer. These intentions, which express the Pope’s concern for humanity and the mission of the Church, are made available along with a morning and evening prayer. Let’s join many others around the world and pray with the Pope.

Let us pray for priests who are experiencing moments of crisis in their vocation, that they may find the accompaniment they need and that communities may support them with understanding and prayer. 

Morning Prayer

God, thank you for this new day.
May I be aware this day of your presence in the beauty of creation, and in your presence in everyone I meet.
Bless them in their joys and sorrows.
Help me to live in a way that is pleasing to you. 

Amen.

“Lord, as I begin this day, give me confidence and trust in your closeness to me and to all I meet, presence in all that I do and to reflect your love to those around me.”

Evening Prayer

Dear Lord, I need your presence.

Please come and fill me with your spirit, and remove all troubling thoughts and fears. Comfort and guide me as I sleep.
Help me to seek you and follow you all the days of my life.
Protect me and my loved ones from harm and help us to know and love you.
This I ask in Jesus’ name. Amen.
