Welcome to this space to Pray with the Pope in his Worldwide Prayer
Network, through Pray As You Go.
This month, we pray that praying with the Word of God be
nourishment for our lives and a source of hope in our communities,
helping us to build a more fraternal and missionary Church.
Let us prepare ourselves for this moment by entering into stillness and
calming our hearts...
In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amén.
Lord Jesus, living Word of the Father,
in You we find the light that guides our steps.
We know that the human heart lives restless, hungry for meaning,
and only your Gospel can give it peace and fullness.
Teach us to listen to you each day in the Scriptures,
to let ourselves be challenged by your voice,
and to discern our decisions
from the closeness to your Heart.
May your Word be nourishment in weariness,
hope in darkness,
and strength in our communities.
Lord, may your Word never be absent from our lips or from our hearts—
the Word that makes us sons and daughters, brothers and sisters,
disciples and missionaries of your Kingdom.
Make us a Church that prays with the Word,
that is built upon it and shares it with joy,
so that in every person the hope of a new world may be born again.
May our faith grow in the encounter with you through your Word,
moving us from the heart
to reach out to others,
to serve the most vulnerable,
to forgive, build bridges, and proclaim life.
Amen.
We close this moment to Pray with the Pope by offering our hearts and
saying together: In the name of the Father, and the Son, and the Holy
Spirit. Amen.
