St Peter Claver Mass Celebration 2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Celebrant opening prayer:<\/strong> St. Peter Claver\u2019s life was changed by God\u2019s call to serve. May our prayers express a conversion of life, which makes us recognize and respect the dignity which belongs to all of humanity. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our response: Lord, hear our prayer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. We pray for\u00a0Pope Leo, Bishop Luis, and all our priests and deacons that they may be\u00a0inspired by the example of St. Peter\u00a0Claver\u00a0and\u00a0promote racial justice and reconciliation\u00a0throughout the Church and around the world. We pray to the Lord:\u00a0<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    1. We pray for healing to address the persistent sin of racism which rejects the full humanity of some of your children, and the gifts and talents You have given\u00a0them.\u00a0We pray to the Lord:\u00a0<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
        \n
      1. We pray for\u00a0the grace\u00a0to recognize the dignity of every person, for those who are seen as\u00a0other, who bear the legacy of centuries of discrimination, fear, and violence.\u00a0We pray to the Lord:\u00a0<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
          \n

            \n
          1. We pray for a\u00a0grace filled\u00a0society so all children have homes where families can live in dignity and security.\u00a0We pray to the Lord:\u00a0<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
              \n
            1. We pray for the souls of those who have gone before us teaching us and reminding us that we are all God\u2019s children. We pray to the Lord:\u00a0<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

              Celebrant\u2019s closing prayer:<\/strong> Lord of all, we ask you to hear and answer our prayers. Give us eyes to see how the past has shaped the complex present, and to perceive how we must create a new way forward, with a new sense of community that embraces and celebrates the rich diversity of all, that helps us live out your call to reject the sin of racism, the stain of hate, and to seek a compassionate solidarity supported by Your grace and Your love. We ask this through Christ, Our Lord.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n
