Presider: The commands of the Lord are clear, but his mercy is great. Let us pray to our Father, trusting in his wisdom.
- That the Catholic Church may guide her members in the paths of goodness, and bring them closer to God’s love, we pray.
- That those who are discriminated against and victimized may receive true justice, we pray.
- In Thanksgiving for the past 90 years of presence of the Mercedarian Missionaries of Berriz to the people of Saipan, as they celebrate their anniversary today. And for God’s gracious blessing in continuing to call young women to be missionaries of God’s love and mercy in our world today, we pray.
- For women as they celebrate the CNMI Women’s Month as well as the International Women’s Day, that God will heal their spirits, renew their hope and make them whole again, we pray.
- For the disabled and those who take care of them to be given special grace during this Lenten Season, and that we may carry on Jesus’ mission demonstrating a loving and offering appropriate support and service, we pray.
- For those who suffer mental, physical or spiritual anguish, and those of our community, broken by illness, accident, loss or stress that they become whole, we pray.
- That the faithful departed may enjoy eternal life through the crucified Lord, we pray.
Presider: Almighty Father, in wisdom you have revealed your law; in mercy you give us grace to fulfill it. Hear the petitions of the people gathered in the name of your Son, who lives and reigns forever and ever. Amen.
