I pray that the bishops involved in the Extraordinary Synod of Bishops on the Family will be guided by the Holy Spirit throughout the process; that they will be both compassionate and faithful to the teachings of the Church; that they will be humble; that they will not allow personal aims or opinions to be elevated about authentic teaching; and that the faithful and and those following the Synod will not be confused on matters of faith and morals.
Gracious and merciful Father, please come to their assistance.
Our Father, who art in Heaven, hallowed be thy name.
Thy kingdom come, thy will be done, on Earth as it is in Heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread,
and forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us.
And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.
Amen.
Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee.
Blessed are thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb Jesus.
Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death.
Amen.
Glory Be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit.
As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end.
Amen.
