Mt 11:29
God of power and mercy, through your Son’s passion and resurrection you have freed us from the bonds of death and the anguish of separation from you. Be ever with us on our pilgrimage; then we shall sing rather than weep…
Keep our feet from stumbling, so that we may be able to follow you until we come to eternal rest.
Some intentions follow. Feel free to add your own to the thread, too.
Please pray for priests, bishops, Pope Francis, especially for those in lands where persecution is intense, especially for @CardJosephZen.
Please pray for the repose of the souls of the late Pope Benedict XVI/Joseph Ratzinger & George Cardinal Pell. May they rest in peace.
