- For the Church: that we may remain strong in faith and humble in service. We pray to the Lord:
- For leaders of nations: that they may reject violence and division, and work for peace and justice. We pray to the Lord:
- For all who feel burdened by fear, doubt, or isolation: that God’s Spirit bring them strength and hope. We pray to the Lord:
- For our parish community: that even the smallest acts of faith may bear fruit in unity and love. We pray to the Lord:
- For those impacted by the increase in severe weather during this active hurricane season: that God protect the most vulnerable and inspire us to heal the damage to creation that fuels these storms. We pray to the Lord:

God of hope and mercy, hear the prayers of your people. Strengthen our faith, guide us in your ways, and unite us in your love. Through Christ our Lord. Amen
