Mahitungod niining pag-ampo
This original devotional prayer asks Saint Paul to intercede with God. It is written for this companion and is not presented as a historical prayer composed by the saint.
Teksto sa pag-ampo
Saint Paul, join your prayers to mine before our loving God. Pray that the light of Christ may change the places in my heart that resist him. Help me listen before I judge, speak truth with charity, and bring the Gospel into my daily work. When following Jesus becomes difficult, ask for the courage to remain faithful without becoming harsh toward those who disagree with me. Intercede for the intentions I now hold in silence, especially for those who have no one to pray with them. May every grace we receive draw us closer to Jesus and make us more ready to serve our neighbour. 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 those sharing the Gospel, obtain words rooted in truth and lives that make Christ's love credible.
Lord, hear our prayer, and help us become instruments of your mercy.
For communities divided by background or opinion, help us listen across differences and recognise the gifts of every member.
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.
