Today, we pray for the wounded

Lord Jesus, today we bring to You the wounded, from all over the world, especially the ones who trudge into our retreat centre, for a revival of their lives. We pray for healing that is complete – physically and emotionally. We pray that Your love seeps through their spirits, souls and bodies, removing every hurt inflicted by people. May they walk into Your arms and walk boldly along hereafter, holding Your hand forever. Amen.

Today, we pray for carers of the sick

Lord Jesus, on this day we specially lift unto You those who are caring for the ill and elderly – family, friends, doctors, nurses and full time carers. Jesus, may they see You in the ones they are treating. Let care not become a show or business, but the biggest channel of Your divine love. May Your mercy and grace shine through these people, may the sick see You and sense Your blessing, peace and touch from these carers, when the suffering gets unbearable and when they near death. A special prayer that these jobs are never abused. Amen.

Today, we pray for atheists

Lord Jesus, today we pray for those who deny the existence of You, our living God. May Your Holy Spirit convict them and bring them to repentance. We pray that every year that they have lost will be regained for Your glory, for Your kingdom. Open the eyes of their souls that they may really see You. Let us Christians be used as instruments to bring the lost back into the fold. May we never drive anyone away from You with our loveless words or actions. Keep us from losing our own faith too. Amen.

Today, we pray for those lukewarm in their faith

Lord Jesus, today we surrender to You those among us who have a lukewarm relationship with You and Your people. Lord, You said that those who are neither hot nor cold would be spat out. We pray that we really begin to live out our Christian faith with honesty, love, passion, freedom and grace. May we also never become blind followers of the blind, but exercise Your wisdom and caution, when facing challenges in our faith walk. Bring Your Spirit alive in us – every day – give us fresh anointing from Your Holy Spirit. Amen.

Today, we pray for greater devotion to the rosary

Lord Jesus, on this day we bring to You a desire that that world will pray the rosary together. Lord, many do not respect this beautiful devotion and even the ones who do, do not spare daily time for it. We thank You for families and individuals who pray the rosary. We intercede to our Blessed Mother for a new wave of devotion to the rosary, all across the continents. Amen.
