We present the Lord with our petitions along with the bread and wine, responding, as a community, "We ask this all together, Lord".

• For all people with emotional, economic or physical problems, so that you can make us strong and take away our fears,

"We ask this all together, Lord".

• For every human being that needs to meet you, to cope with their life,

"We ask this all together, Lord".

• For families, so that they can live with difficulties in mutual trust and love,

"We ask this all together, Lord".

• For the church that we form part of together, so that this new academic year responds to the needs of the men and women of our time.

"We ask this all together, Lord".

• For the politicians and the officials responsible for the well-being of society, so they may feel sympathy for those who are worst off and do the best they can to improve the lifestyle of people,

"We ask this all together, Lord".

Listen, Father God, to this prayer that we present you as a community, so you can help us to live united as brothers. Amen.
