Lord Jesus, today we pray for protection – from evil, strife, bad habits and any vile attacks of Satan. Lord, we want to live glorifying Your name. Sometimes, we build up shackles which destroy us, instead of keeping us safe. Protect us – from this moment, in a very special way, Lord Jesus. Send Your angels to stand guard over us and our own. More than anything, keep us away from anything that hinders us from loving You and loving our brethren. Amen.
Lord Jesus, You gave us the gift of parents. There are so many children who do not see their parents as a gift, but rather as a burden. Our parents have given their whole lives and made a lot of sacrifices for their children. But today they feel unwanted and left out. We offer their pain unto You. Have mercy on them.

May Your angels surround us now and forever – right from the time we step out to make our journey and to the time when we are back. Amen
Lord Jesus, we bring to Your Cross those who are judged the harshest by each one of us, the Pharisees of today. The teen with the tattoo, the intruding relative, the sulky colleague, the temperamental boss, the whining elder, the insensitive partner, the friend who wounded, the alcoholic neighbour, the gossipy stranger and many more faces we meet daily…may we see them all as You see them, holy and perfect creations in an imperfect world. Let us not judge, lest we be judged by You. Forgive and heal us, each time before we even think of lifting our fingers to...
