March Prayer Intentions

Bishop Johnston: For those who work in transportation professions: truck drivers, pilots, railroad workers, delivery persons, warehouse workers, flight attendants; that God grant them grace and safety, and bestow upon their families security and peace while they are away from home serving the needs of others.

Holy Father: Let us pray that nations move toward effective disarmament, particularly nuclear disarmament, and that world leaders choose the path of dialogue and diplomacy instead of violence.
