We present to the Lord our faith which wants to be adult, and doesn't want to remain stagnating in the 'Baby Jesus', so as to become a means of personal and social transformation and show itself in our petitions.

* So that all of us joined together here know how to become "angels" for those who surround us, because we help them with their lives, their work, their struggles, their grief and their celebrations,

HELP US, FATHER,

* So that we may be people who forgive and forget, who help to cure relationships and who are devoid of resentments or unhealthy memories.

HELP US, FATHER,

* So that we may live totally open to reality, near to people and be good fellow pilgrims.

HELP US, FATHER,

* So that we are not satisfied with mediocrity in our lives and don't allow ourselves to become like a dry old fig tree.

HELP US, FATHER,

* So that your church, politicians, authorities and the rest of humanity can live in harmony, fraternity, justice and equality.

HELP US, FATHER,

Receive our well-intentioned petitions and change our hearts with the strength of your Spirit so that they may become the driving force of a new humanity. Amen.
