Tonight I thank you for those who supply us with us with the necessities of life, especially for farmers and all who bring us our food. I pray for fair trading systems to ensure that those who produce food are given a just reward for their labors.Creator God, May St. Pius X be a place a mercy and forgiveness. May all who are distressed find in our parish community the peace and comfort. Amen.God of creation I give You thanks for the world that I live in. For its beauty and resourcefulness, for the life that it sustains and the food it provides.
O God, when I have food,help me to remember the hungry;When I have work,help me to remember the jobless;When I have a home,help me to remember those who have no home at all;When I am without pain,help me to remember those who suffer,And remembering,help me to destroy my complacency;bestir my compassion,and be concerned enough to help;By word and deed,those who cry out for what we take for granted.Tonight I pray for those who have been recently bereaved. For those who mourn for loved ones long gone, but not forgotten: and for those who feel that they have lost something else important in their life—a sense of belonging, an opportunity denied, a road not taken. May they all know that they can never be far from Your love.
I pray tonight for those close at hand suffering from sickness, bereavement, loneliness; that they would know You close at hand. And for those fearing the near end of life, that You would grant them a perfect end, Amen.

Everything we possess—goods, talents, time, opportunities—is a gift...
Lord God, as the election approaches, we seek to better understand the issues and concerns that confront our city/state/country, and how the Gospel compels us to respond as faithful citizens in our community.We ask for eyes that are free from blindness so that we might see each other as brothers and sisters, one and equal in dignity, especially those who are victims of abuse and violence, deceit and poverty.We ask for ears that will hear the cries of children unborn and those abandoned, Men and women oppressed because of race or creed, religion or gender.We ask for minds and hearts that are open to hearing the voice of leaders who will bring us closer to your Kingdom.We pray for discernment so that we may choose leaders who hear your Word, live your love,and keep in the ways of your truth as they follow in the steps of Jesus and his Apostles and guide us to your Kingdom of justice and peace.We ask this in the name of your Son Jesus Christ and through the power of the Holy Spirit.Amen.
