for lack of the spirit of service and sisterly love.
IN THANKSGIVING – IN PETITION:
for the mercy of God upon the world
for the intentions of the Holy Father, the Church and our country
for priestly and religious vocations
for the spirit of faith and that families will direct their lives according to God’s commandments.
