    That those moving through new seasons—birth, loss, relocation, or change—may find peace and stability rooted in faith.
     
  3. For the lonely and forgotten:
    That those who feel unseen or unloved may experience the tenderness of God through the kindness of others.
     
  4. For those discerning their vocation:
    That men and women listening for God’s call may respond with courage, joy, and surrender to His will.
     
  5. For our priests and spiritual leaders:
    That they may be refreshed in spirit, protected from discouragement, and strengthened by the prayers of the faithful they serve.
     
  6. For peace in our homes:
    That every household may become a place of patience, forgiveness, and laughter—where Christ is truly present.
     
  7. For the sick and their caregivers:
    That those suffering in body or mind may be comforted by God’s presence, and those who care for them may be sustained by grace.
     
  8. For conversion of hearts:
    That we may turn away from pride, resentment, and bitterness, and allow God’s mercy to soften our hearts toward others.
     
  9. For our children and youth:
    That they may grow in wisdom and virtue, shielded from despair, and guided by the light of the Holy Spirit.
     
  10. For those facing financial hardship:
    That those burdened by debt, unemployment, or uncertainty may find provision, stability, and renewed hope.
     
  11. For a spirit of gratitude:
    That we may learn to see God’s blessings—even in difficulty—and offer continual thanks for His goodness.
     
  12. For the dying and those who mourn:
    That those preparing to meet the Lord may do so in peace, and those left behind may be comforted by the promise of eternal life.
     
  13. For our world leaders:
    That they may act with justice, humility, and concern for the poor, promoting unity over division and peace over pride.
     
  14. For the grace to forgive:
    That we may release old wounds, reconcile with those who have hurt us, and allow God’s mercy to heal what is broken.
     
  15. For a renewal of faith in our Church:
    That all believers may be rekindled with zeal for the Gospel, walking in holiness, truth, and charity together.
