Prayer Chapel
Our prayers flow back to our family of faithful to offer comfort in times of trial. Here in our Prayer Chapel, you will find words of peace, comfort, and inspiration. Your prayers — including the greatest prayer of all, the Holy Mass — are a priceless gift to the ongoing mission of Aid to the Church in Need.
O Lord, hear my cries.
My troubled heart brings
me to You, my protector.
You know, my God, all my failings,
my faults and my sins.
In this time of need,
let Your light shine upon me;
lighten this burden from me,
Carry this cross with me
O Lord, for alone, I can do nothing.
Please let me be comforted
by Your limitless love and mercy.
Amen.

For respect for human life
Let us pray for the respect and protection of human life in all its stages, recognizing it as a gift from God.
Walking in Mary’s Image
Dear Lord, our sisters
are cherished souls.
They are always one
with their faithful.
What they have,
what they receive,
they share with those in need.
Please remind me
to support them when I can.
For I know that when I help
a nun, I help one who walks
in Mary’s image and brings
the words of Her Son—
love, kindness, and compassion—
to His people.
Please keep these special women
safe. They have sacrificed their lives
to serve those in need.
The world needs them.
Amen.
A Prayer for Children in Need
Loving Mary,
in your infinite compassion, we seek your protection for children who are alone and afraid. Provide comfort to the
youngest witnesses of violence and destruction, those who have lost parents and friends, all because of war and persecution.
Help them in their time of need.
Amen.
O Lord, hear my cries.
My troubled heart brings
me to You, my protector.
You know, my God, all my failings,
my faults and my sins.
In this time of need,
let Your light shine upon me;
lighten this burden from me,
Carry this cross with me
O Lord, for alone, I can do nothing.
Please let me be comforted
by Your limitless love and mercy.
Amen.

For the values of sports
Let us pray that sports be an instrument of peace, encounter, and dialogue among cultures and nations, and that they promote values such as respect, solidarity, and personal growth.
O Lord, hear my cries.
My troubled heart brings
me to You, my protector.
You know, my God, all my failings,
my faults and my sins.
In this time of need,
let Your light shine upon me;
lighten this burden from me,
Carry this cross with me
O Lord, for alone, I can do nothing.
Please let me be comforted
by Your limitless love and mercy.
Amen.
