-----------------------------------------------------PRAYER OF PEACE FOR SYRIA
O God of peace, who are peace itself
and whom a spirit of discord cannot grasp,
nor a violent mind receive,
grant that those who are one in heart
may persevere in what is good
and that those in conflict
may forget evil and so be healed.
Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son,
who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
one God, for ever and ever.
St John Damascene, pray for us.

PALLOTTINE PRAYER
Lord, make me a better person, more considerate towards others, more honest with myself, more faithful to you. Make me generous enough to want sincerely to do your will whatever it may be. Help me to find my true vocation in life and grant that through it I may find happiness myself and bring happiness to others.
 Lord, may those whom you call have the generosity to answer your call.
St Vincent Pallotti, pray for us.
