Prayer for Families
Thursday, September 5, 2013

Mary, Queen of Mercy

We pray for all who had to abandon
their families, their homes, their land.
For all those without food or shelter.
We pray for those who live in refugee camps.
May God bless all the countries receiving the displaced
Who are offering aid, assistance and care.
Mary, Queen of Mercy, pray for Syria.

Refugee Children

 
Novena Prayer

God of Compassion, hear our prayers as we pray with Our Mother Mary, Queen of Mercy
Hear the cries of the people of Syria
Comfort those who suffer violence
Console those who mourn the dead
Give strength to Syria’s neighboring countries to welcome the refugees
Convert the hearts of those who have taken up arms
And protect those who are committed to peace.

God of hope,  hear our prayers as we pray with Our Mother Mary, Queen of Mercy
Inspire leaders to choose peace over violence and to seek reconciliation with their enemies
Inflame the Universal Church with compassion for the people of Syria
And give us hope for a future built on justice for all
We ask this through Jesus Christ, the Prince of Peace and Light of the world.

Amen
