For Pope Francis and Bishop Christian whose clear preaching calls us to Advent hope during this difficult time in our world.
We pray to the Lord.
For our country as we listen to debate on a new bill for assisted suicide that promotes death for all ages and for the mentally ill.
We pray to the Lord.
For people overwhelmed by the second wave of the COVID-19 pandemic, especially those in our province and in Saint John.
We pray to the Lord.
For people and families who are homeless or facing eviction and for all the poor and people facing loss of jobs and income.
We pray to the Lord.
For the many generous people working to provide for the poor this Christmas.
We pray to the Lord.
For people who are sick and for their families and caregivers and for people in isolation who are facing fear and loneliness and discouragement each day during the pandemic.
We pray to the Lord.
For those who have died: Paul Von Richter, Bruce McCanse, Mary Lou Cronin, Margie Conway, Karen Legere, that God will grant them the joy of heaven.
We pray to the Lord.
