Prayer of Compassion

Mary, Queen of Mercy

We pray for our brothers and sisters in faith.
St. Paul, bless Christianity in Syria
Help the Christians of this country.
May the Faith not be diminished!
May the Syrians feel the support
Of their Christian brothers and sisters
Mary, Queen of Mercy, pray for Syria.

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
