Tuned to Mercy

The Catechism of the Catholic Church beautifully articulates the power and importance of intercessory prayer, emphasizing that “since Abraham, intercession—asking on behalf of another—has been characteristic of a heart attuned to God’s mercy” (CCC 2635). When we ask God for what others need, we are participating in a profound mystery of divine grace. 

Our prayers become channels through which God’s love and blessings flow into the lives of those around us. This practice fosters a spirit of humility and trust, as we recognize our own limitations and turn to God, the source of all goodness, to provide for the needs of our brothers and sisters. Moreover, intercessory prayer unites us with the Communion of Saints, as we join our prayers with those of the saints in heaven, creating a powerful chorus of supplication before the throne of God. In this way, the prayer of intercession becomes a beautiful expression of our faith, hope, and charity, strengthening the bonds of our spiritual family and bringing us all closer to the heart of God.

Prayer for Peace

Let us dream together, pray together and work together, To build one world of peace and justice for all. Amen
