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.

For the care of water. Let us pray for a just and sustainable management of water, a vital resource, so that everyone may have equal access to it. 

Morning Prayer

Creator God, you who fashioned this new morning, the earth and all living things within it, teach us to be faithful stewards of your creation. Show us how to care for the seas, rivers, and oceans, and to protect the countless forms of life that dwell within our waters. Remind us that water is a sacred gift, essential to every living being. Guide us in ways to help bring fresh water to everyone living on this planet. 

Evening Prayer

I thank you for today, Lord, knowing that you were with me, guiding me every step of the way. As night falls, bless my sleep with peace and quiet trust in you. May I rest securely in the knowledge that when a new day dawns, your mercies will be renewed once again. Go before me into tomorrow, blessing not only me, but also all those whose lives I may touch along the way.
