Lord Jesus, you told us, “Where your treasure is, there your heart is also.” the parish of Holy Spirit treasures our faith in You, our children, and every person who gathers here. Help us to have the courage to sacrifice, to love, and to build in Your name. Guide us by Your Spirit of Wisdom, give success to the work of our hands, and keep us in your peace. Saints, martyrs, and Mary, our Mother, pray for us. Amen.

God of mercy, in your word of Scripture,
you instruct us to “Do to others as you would have them do to you.”
Give us today the courage to assist those around us who may need our assistance.
Give us patience when we become impatient.
Remind us to pray for all those who perished on United Airlines 93, American Airlines 11,
United Airlines 175, American Airlines 77,
and those in the Twin Towers and Pentagon. 
Give us a heart thankful for those who gave their lives
as first responders, as did the men and women who ran into danger to be of aid.
We ask all this in the name of the One who first responded to our need for a savior, Jesus the Christ.
Amen.
