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 that societies where coexistence seems more difficult might not succumb to the temptation of confrontation for ethnic, political, religious, or ideological reasons.

Morning Prayer

Father, I Praise You for the sky and sun, for both remind us of a new day’s challenge and chance to follow  You. Thank You for reminding us life is not always easy, but that we don’t have to carry the difficulties and into each new day. Forgive us for dwelling on the past and for holding onto grudges. Bless our hearts to be held back by nothing as we seek You each day. In Jesus’ Name, Amen

Evening Prayer

 Dear Lord, please grant me a peaceful rest. Quiet my mind, soothe my spirit, and fill my heart with Your love. May I be truly grateful for love in my life, and for all who help me.  Protect me as I sleep and wake me refreshed in Your grace to follow you in love another day. In Jesus’ name, I pray. Amen.
