This original Catholic devotional prayer was written for this companion. Pray it alone or with others, bringing the people and circumstances of your own life before God.
Teksto sa pag-ampo
God of all nations, bless the Philippines and all who call it home. Protect its people, nurture its cultures and guide the responsible care of its islands, seas and natural resources. Strengthen families separated by migration and communities facing poverty, conflict or disaster. Give citizens courage to seek truth, reject corruption and participate responsibly in public life. May education, healthcare and honest work become accessible to all, and may respect for human dignity guide every policy and decision. Grant what is truly good, and help me cooperate with your grace through wise and loving action. Keep me close to Jesus in hope and patience. Through Christ our Lord. Amen.
Dugang nga pag-ampo sa komunidad
Wala usba ang orihinal nga pag-ampo sa ibabaw. Kining lahi nga bersiyon sa komunidad adunay dugang nga mga tuyo ug tubag. Usa ang mangulo ug ang tanan motubag sa gitakdang mga bahin.
Let us gather in the presence of God, remembering those who pray with us and those who cannot be here. We bring our gratitude, our needs, and our willingness to care for one another.
God of love, unite our hearts in prayer and teach us to serve you together.

Community intentions
For our country and its people, guide us toward peace, truthful public life, and opportunities for every community to flourish.
Lord, hear our prayer, and help us become instruments of your mercy.
For those facing poverty or exclusion, strengthen fair institutions and help us take responsibility for our neighbours and our common home.
Lord, hear our prayer, and help us become instruments of your mercy.
Pause for silent prayer. Intentions may be offered aloud freely; no one is required to share.
For the intentions spoken and those held quietly in our hearts, let us pray to the Lord.
Lord, receive our prayer and sustain us in your love.
Let us entrust ourselves and those for whom we have prayed to the Father.
Merciful Father, receive our prayer through Jesus Christ. Where we can offer help, make us willing; where we must wait, give us patience. Keep us attentive to one another beyond this gathering. May the grace of this prayer take root in our homes, our work, and our choices, so that your love becomes visible through our lives. Amen.
