Lord Jesus, we pray for those who feel lost and empty. On that Holy Saturday after Your death, the ones who loved You would have felt lost, alone and empty. They would have struggled to understand the situation. We pray for all those who, on this day, feel lost and empty in life and are unable to understand their broken situations. Be with them this day and comfort them as You lead them on to the resurrection experience. Amen.
Lord Jesus, today we bring to You those among us who are hungering for a square meal. Lord, have mercy on our cruel world where the wealthy are enjoying the best of luxuries while millions are starving. We also surrender our hunger for love, care and fellowship. We especially submit the vulnerable – the old, the children and the lonely, who do not have anyone to offer them a morsel and have to fend for themselves daily. May those who are hungry be filled, by You and by Your creations who live Your love. Amen.
Lord Jesus, today we bring to Your presence our pregnant wives, sisters, mothers and friends. We pray that theirs wombs and babies are blessed. May the men who are to give them care and love, do so, with Your touch. Hold their babies. May Your angels, Saint Anne and Mother Mary give the mums relief from their discomforts. Bless them with safe and happy confinement and smooth labour. Bless their men too. Amen.
Lord Jesus, God of love, we pray today that great peace comes into our world with Your one touch. Our world is torn by broken individuals, distant factions and fighting countries. We pray that Your hands heal each one of them. May the love of Your Holy Spirit cleanse individuals, families and communities. God bless us all. Amen.

Heaven’s height, earth’s breadth, the depths of the abyss: who can explore these? Before all things else wisdom was created; and prudent understanding, from eternity. The word of God on high is the fountain of wisdom and her ways are everlasting. To whom has wisdom’s root been revealed? Who knows her subtleties? To whom has the discipline of wisdom been revealed? And who has understood...
