For priests in crisis: Let us pray for priests going through moments of crisis in their vocation, that they may find the accompaniment they need and that communities may support them with understanding and prayer.
Let us pray for all who are exploited and used for personal gain, that such injustice may be confronted and ended. May those who misuse others repent and turn from selfishness, seeking the common good, and may all uphold the sacred dignity of every person as a child of God.
