Prayer of the Faithful - Last one of the year

That those fallen away from their faith be moved by the Holy Spirit to return to the family of God;

That the President of the United States be led by God's wisdom to make good decisions;

That those families suffering due to the natural disasters in Asia find shelter, sustenance, love and peace;

That parents, always relying on God's help, be loving, strong, and faith filled teachers of their children;

That the families of Our Lady of Lourdes and St. Bernadette embarking on summer vacations have safe travels and fun times;
