Dear Heavenly Father,
Thank You for today. Thank You for all that You do for me each and every day, including that which I fail to notice. Thank You for taking care of my family, friends, and acquaintances. I ask that You shield and protect them, guide them in this life, and bring them safely home to You. Let them know that You are always with them. Never let me forget Your presence in my life, and guide me safely through it.
Lord, I humbly seek Your favor. Please touch the hearts of the young. Help them to appreciate the sacred gift of marriage. May they value the delicate sounds of children. Enlighten their vision to see the profound beauty in sharing life with someone they love deeply. May they be open to the joys and sorrows that come with the bond of marriage. May they also embrace the unique joys and challenges that children bring into their lives.
Dear Heavenly Father, guide me to be the light others need to find their way back to You, never hiding my light under a bushel basket. Grant peace within to those who seek it. I ask for Your protection and guidance over our country, our political officials, our clergy, and people throughout the world. Inspire those in positions of influence. Encourage our leaders, entertainers, athletes, and business leaders to embrace Your love. Help them reflect it to others as members of Your family. May their light shine brightly, drawing others into Your presence. Help us to see one another as You see us.
I ask for conversion and mercy for all sinners, and mercy for the souls in purgatory. I pray for the healing of the sick, if it be Your will. Help those who are struggling to walk with You through the trials and tribulations of their lives. Thank You, Lord, for the life You have given me. I ask that Your angels fight fiercely against the powers of evil that beset our world. This includes the archangels appointed over each nation. Bring Your peace to every country and every people.
Dear Heavenly Father, in the quiet hours of this night, we come before You once more. We trust that no prayer is ever wasted. No place is ever too small to be held in Your care. You are present in the great cities. You are in the hidden valleys. You are in places known to many. You are in those known only to You.
Tonight, Lord, we again lift up Andorra, a land cradled in the Pyrenees, where faith has endured through simplicity, silence, and steadfast devotion.
We thank You for the long Marian history of this land. We are also grateful for the presence of Our Lady of Meritxell. Her apparition and devotion have shaped Andorra’s soul for centuries. May her shrine remain a pilgrimage site. It should be a place of healing and quiet conversion. This is for all who come seeking comfort or clarity.
Lord, we remember the many pilgrims. They have traveled the mountain paths to visit sacred places like Meritxell, Santa Coloma, Sant Joan de Caselles, and Sant Serni de Nagol. May each step taken in faith draw hearts closer to You, even when the journey feels steep or uncertain.
We give thanks for the enduring influence of Saint Ermengol of Urgell. His pastoral care and sacrifice helped anchor the Church in this region. May his witness inspire courage, humility, and faithful leadership in every generation.
Father, we unite Andorra with the communion of saints. Their lives continue to shape the Church across borders and centuries. We ask the intercession of Saint Monica. She teaches us perseverance in prayer. We implore Saint Augustine. He reminds us that restless hearts find rest only in You. We also seek the guidance of the holy martyrs of the early Church. Their faith was stronger than fear.
Though Andorra has not been marked by widespread martyrdom, its witness has been one of quiet fidelity. This is a faith lived without spectacle. It is preserved through tradition, family prayer, and reverence for the sacred. Bless this hidden holiness, Lord. Strengthen what is unseen but deeply rooted.
Protect this land from spiritual complacency. Guard it from forgetting the faith that shaped its foundations. Renew devotion in homes, churches, and hearts. Let the beauty of the mountains always point beyond themselves to the One who created them.
We ask You to bless all who live and work in Andorra. Bless the young as they discern their path. Bless the families striving for stability. Bless the elderly who carry memory and wisdom. Bless all who seek peace in a world that moves too quickly.
Lord, we also lift before You all those who are awake at this hour, known and unknown. Bring rest to weary minds, comfort to anxious hearts, and hope to those who feel forgotten. We remember all intentions entrusted to this prayer journey, especially those held silently within our hearts.
We place Andorra, and all nations, beneath Your mercy and care. We ask this through Jesus Christ, our Lord.
Let Your Spirit fill the youth with purpose, and open doors of opportunity that anchor them in faith. May corruption be replaced with righteousness, and may every leader walk in Your light.
Dear Lord, we implore You to envelop all restless souls awake in the stillness of this night with Your peace. We lift before You those on our prayer list, Joey, Scott, Chris, Mary, Melissa, Tina, Henry and all people throughout the world. We remember especially those in desperate need: the weary sleeping on the streets, under bridges, in hospitals, and their families.
Help our teens draw closer to You. Uplift those with mental disabilities. Support those who wander in doubt of Your existence. Comfort those suffering from Alzheimer’s disease and terminal illnesses.
Be especially near to those who will meet You this day. Grant them a peaceful passing. Give them the comfort of Your mercy and eternal rest.
We pray for an increase number of men and women entering the religious life. We also pray for those who experience violence from lost souls.
Lord, please intercede among all peoples. Show them how to resolve differences without fighting, rioting, or harming one another. Open our eyes to the beauty of putting You first in our lives and living together in peace.
Bless the work of our hands. Guide us in the care of the world You have entrusted to us. Let all labor be done with dignity, honesty, and love.
May we all understand that differing opinions need not divide us, but can lead us toward deeper understanding.
Thank You, Lord, for being in our lives. Your presence is the beauty we see in our lives.
We come before You seeking Your guidance for Pope Leo XIV. Make him a pure vessel filled with Your Holy Spirit. Let no worldly influence sway his heart from You. May every word he speaks reflect Your truth and align with Sacred Scripture. May his will be surrendered fully to Yours, and may Your angels shield and protect him from all evil.
We ask that our places of worship be filled to overflowing, and that perpetual adoration chapels never are empty. Protect our clergy, strengthen them, and help them remain faithful to the mission You have entrusted to them.
We lift up every spoken and unspoken intention held within our hearts.
In Your holy name we pray. We adore You, and may our love for You grow deeper with every passing day.
Amen.
