Let us pray that each of us will find consolation in a personal relationship with Jesus and learn from His Heart compassion for the world.

Let us pray that we learn more and more to discern, know how to choose paths of life and reject everything that distances us from Christ and the Gospel.

Pray that people who are struggling with suicidal thoughts will find the support, care and love they need in their community and open themselves to the beauty of life.
December: For Christians in contexts of conflict
Let us pray that Christians living in contexts of war or conflict, especially in the Middle East, may be seeds of peace, reconciliation and hope.
