1. For the Church: that we build up the Body of Christ, encouraging each other’s gifts as evangelists, pastors, teachers and holy ones, encouraging unity and the work of ministry.
   We pray to the Lord
   LORD, HEAR OUR PRAYER
2. For all priests who are ordained to serve our Church: that their ministry may be fruitful and appreciated by the people whom they serve and we may never take the presence of our priests for granted, as we cherish the celebration of the Mass and are nourished by the Eucharist.
   We pray to the Lord
   LORD, HEAR OUR PRAYER
3. For international leaders, health authorities and medical suppliers: that they will do all in their power to achieve a just distribution of the COVID vaccine to needy countries.
   We pray to the Lord
   LORD, HEAR OUR PRAYER
4. For ourselves and our community: God of life, work your miracles of life in us and through us. May our neighbours experience us bringing goodness and healing, encouragement and kindness, justice and mercy to the world.
   We pray to the Lord
   LORD, HEAR OUR PRAYER
5. In the silence of our hearts let us pray for our personal intentions.(Pause for 5 seconds)

My Jesus, I believe that You are present in the Most Holy Sacrament.
I love You above all things, and I desire to receive You into my soul.
Since I cannot at this moment receive You sacramentally,
come at least spiritually into my heart.
I embrace You as if You were already there and unite myself wholly to You.
