Intention  of the Holy Father

Let us pray that migrants, refugees and people affected by war may always see their right to education, which is necessary to build a better world, respected.

Intention  of the BISHOPS

We pray to you, Lord, for the community of believers: may it be the "salt of the earth" and the "light of the world", to reawaken the desire for you, written in the heart of every man and every woman.

In the Gospel the best expression of what a heart thinks are the two passages of St. Luke, which tell us that Mary "guarded (synethere) all these things, meditating on them (symballoususa) in his heart." The verb symballein means: to ponder, to bring two things together in the mind and examine oneself, to reflect, to dialogue with oneself; I would diet means “she carefully preserved”, and what she preserved was not only the “scene” she saw, but also what she did not yet understand and yet remained present and alive, waiting to put everything together in her heart

Intention  of the Holy Father

Let us pray that this Jubilee may strengthen us in faith, helping us to recognize the risen Christ in the midst of our lives, and transform us into pilgrims of Christian hope.

Intention  of the BISHOPS

Let us pray that our communities may discover the beauty of true communion, made of authentic sharing of broken bread, and work together to build full and lasting peace in the world.

"A great rebirth of faith is needed, and new and humble disciples of Christ must emerge from the heart of the Church, souls vibrant with faith, porters of God, sowers of faith! And it must be a faith applied to life. It takes a spirit of faith, ardor of faith, impetus of faith;
faith of love, charity of faith,
sacrifice of faith!

Intention  of the Holy Father

Let us pray for all the parents who cry
the death of a son or daughter may find support in the community and obtain peace of heart from the consoling Spirit.

Intention  of the BISHOPS

Let us pray that every encounter with the Word of God may increase in us the knowledge of the Father's love and kindle the desire to dialogue with the Lord Jesus.

Afterward he went to a city called Nain, and his disciples and a large crowd accompanied him. When he drew near to the gate of the city, behold, a dead man was being carried out, the only son of his mother, and she was a widow; and a large crowd from the city was with her. When the Lord saw her, he had compassion on her and said to her, “Do not weep.” And he came and touched the bier, and the bearers stood still. Then he said, “Young man, I say to you, arise.” The dead man sat up and began to speak. And he gave him to his mother. Fear came over them all, and they glorified God, saying, “A great prophet has arisen among us, and God has visited his people.”
