Let us join together in praying for a renewal of faith, peace, healing and unity within our city, our country, our world and our own hearts. Filled with hope and confident trust, may we come to our Lord present in the Eucharist, remembering His words, “Truly I tell you that if two of you on earth agree about anything they ask for, it will be done for them by my Father in heaven” (Matthew 18:19). Following in the footsteps of St. John Neumann, a great promoter of the Forty Hours Devotion, we come together to pray, to ask, and to give thanks.
