Teksto ng panalangin
Mary, conceived without sin by the grace of God, pray for us who seek to follow your Son. Your life reveals what God’s mercy can accomplish in a willing heart. Help us resist sin, turn quickly toward forgiveness and welcome the Holy Spirit. Teach us purity of intention, humility in service and compassion for our neighbours. Present our needs to Jesus, and guide our steps toward holiness. May our lives give glory to the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. Amen.
Mas mahabang panalangin ng pamayanan
Hindi binago ang orihinal na panalangin sa itaas. Ang hiwalay na bersiyong ito para sa pamayanan ay may mga dagdag na intensiyon at tugon. Isang tao ang mamumuno at sasabay ang lahat sa mga tugon.
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 hearts clouded by selfishness, pray that we may receive God's grace and choose what is good with freedom.
Lord, hear our prayer, and help us become instruments of your mercy.
For young people learning to discern their path, obtain wise companions and courage to honour their own and others' dignity.
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.
