Heavenly Father, please send Your Holy Spirit amongst us for the healing and conversion of this world.
Father, please overcome the agendas of the humanists and leaders who seek systematically to eradicate the teachings and love of Jesus from our societies, replacing Christian festivals with pagan symbols, and banishing Him from public life and schools, from families and societies.

Defeat the lobbying that brings about laws that allow the destruction of multi-millions of your children in the intended safety of their mothers’ wombs. Please empower Your people to strive for the overturning of such laws; and all laws which sin against Your Commandments and gospel teaching.

Please inspire the people of this world with the sanctity of marriage, and unselfishness in relationship. Please eradicate the harm to perceptions of love as promote by all forms of media, as disposable when challenges wear off the gloss of initial attraction.

Father, have mercy on all sufferers in our world, all victims of natural disasters; victims of war; and victims of unjust distribution of wealth and resources.

Reach out through your people with practical kindness and support, to the hungry, to the poorly clad, to the homeless, to those without education, employment or self-respect, to the ill and the handicapped, and to all those in need.

Reach out with the voice, the example and the love of Your people, to feed the spiritually poor and lead them to Your Son, sharing with them the riches of faith, Sacrament, and eternal life.

Heavenly Father, please restore our conscience regarding this world’s resources, as excessive exploitation of natural resources has resulted in decline of animal species, climatic change and proliferation of natural disasters. These consequences threaten the welfare of our planet and its inhabitants.

Father, in Jesus’ name, please restore Your creation; and spread the gospel of Jesus throughout the world.

Father, grant that the Holy Spirit will renew this world.

O Blood and Water, which gushed forth from the Heart of Jesus as a fountain of Mercy for us, I trust in You!

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 art thou amongst 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.

Eternal Father, I offer you the Body and Blood, Soul and Divinity of Your Dearly Beloved Son, Our Lord, Jesus Christ, in atonement for our sins and those of the whole world.

For the sake of His sorrowful Passion, have mercy on us and on the whole world. x10

Holy God, Holy Mighty One, Holy Immortal One, have mercy on us and on the whole world.

And do you, O’ Prince of the Heavenly host, by the power of God thrust into Hell Satan and all the other evil spirits who prowl about the world for the ruin of souls.

Prayer for Peace

Lord, God of peace, who has created man, the object
of Your kindness, to be close to You in glory, we bless
You and we thank You because You have sent us Your
beloved Son, Jesus, making Him:
the Mystery of the Pasch,
the Architect of All Salvation,
the Source of All Peace,
the Bond of True Brotherhood.

We thank You for the desire, the efforts, the realizations
which Your spirit of peace has roused in our day: to replace
hatred with love, diffidence with understanding, unconcern
with care.

Open yet more our hearts to the needs of all our brothers
and sisters, so that we may be better able to build a true peace.

Remember, Father of mercy, all who are in pain, who suffer
and die in the cause of a more brotherly world. For the people
of every race, of every tongue – may Your kingdom come:
Your kingdom of justice, of peace, of love; and may the earth
be filled with Your glory. Amen.

– Pope Paul VI

Prayer for Peace and Protection
From Violence and from Terrorism

O almighty and merciful God, Lord of the universe
and of history. All that You have created is good
and Your compassion for the mistakes of humankind
knows no limits. We come to You today to ask You
to keep in peace the world and its people, to keep
far away from the devastating wave of terrorism,
to restore friendship and instill in the hearts of Your
creatures the gift of trust and of readiness to forgive.

O Giver of life, we pray to You also for all those who
have died as victims of brutal terrorist attacks. Grant
them their eternal reward. May they intercede for the
world that is torn apart by conflicts and disagreements.

O Jesus, Prince of Peace, we pray to You for those
who have been wounded in these acts of inhuman
violence: children and young people, old people and
innocent people, accidentally involved in evil. Heal
their bodies and hearts; console them with Your strength
and, at the same time, take away any hatred and
a desire for revenge.

Holy Spirit Consoler, visit the families of the victims
of terrorism, families who suffer through no fault
of their own. Wrap them in the mantle of Your Divine
Mercy. Make them find again in You and in themselves
the strength and courage to continue to be brothers
and sisters for others, above all for immigrants, giving
witness to Your love by their lives.

Touch the hearts of terrorists that they may recognize
the evil of their actions and may turn to the way
of peace and goodness, of respect for the life and for
the dignity of every human being, regardless of religion,
origin, wealth, or poverty.

O God, Eternal Father, in Your mercy hear our prayer
which we raise up to You amidst the deafening noise
and desperation of the world. We turn to You with great
hope, full of trust in Your infinite Mercy.

We entrust ourselves to the intercession of Your Most
Holy Mother. We ask for the gift of peace and of
the elimination from our midst of the sore of terrorism.

Through Christ our Lord. Amen.

(Adapted prayer of Holy Father, Pope Francis, offered
in the Basilica of St. Francis, Kraków, July 30, 2016.)
