Mahitungod niining pag-ampo
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
Loving Father, bless wives with courage, joy and a deep knowledge of their dignity. Help them speak their needs honestly, share responsibilities with their husbands, and receive care as freely as they offer it. Protect them from violence, exhaustion and the belief that they must carry every burden alone. Strengthen those caring for an ill spouse, facing uncertainty or carrying grief. Give couples the grace to encourage each other’s gifts and to grow in faithful love. 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.

Lord, hear our prayer, and help us become instruments of your mercy.
When they carry burdens unnoticed, raise up dependable support and help their families share responsibilities with gratitude and fairness.
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.
