Parish Liturgical Coordinators and prayer group leaders are encouraged to pray for persons facing challenges, as well as for vocations to lay ministry, in upcoming meeting and event prayers, and in the Universal Prayers at weekend Liturgies (or include in your parish bulletin):
1. For persons denied adequate care, especially persons with disabilities: may we advocate for their God-given dignity and assist them in their needs. We pray to the Lord: R/.
2. For all who are forgotten or isolated especially for the poor, the sick, persons with disabilities, and the aged: that God might change our hearts and move us to see and love them as Christ does. We pray to the Lord: R/.
3. For our young adults to consider serving in our Church as coordinators of religious education, youth ministers, pastoral associates., Catholic school teachers, campus ministers, and other parish ministries. We pray to the Lord: R/.
Adapt as needed.
Thank you for praying along with the Office of Faith Formation and Lay Ecclesial Ministry staff.
