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 each of us listens with our hearts to the cry of the Earth and of the victims of environmental disasters and the climate crisis, making a personal commitment to care for the world we inhabit.

Morning Prayer

Lord God, receive me on this day and hear my morning prayer. Bless my parents/children/spouse, family, friends, teachers/colleagues and all those who love and care for me. Bless me, also, and protect me from
danger today. Give me strength to be truthful, honest, kind and helpful to others. I offer you this day with the prayers of Mary, Mother of Jesus, Mother of the Church.
Amen.

Evening Prayer

God, thank you that you know me and you love me. You know everything that has happened to me today, the highs and the lows, the joy and the sorrow. While I sleep, you continue to watch over me. May the love of the Father, the tenderness of the Son and the presence of the Spirit gladden my heart and bring peace to my soul, today and for all days.
Amen.
