Standing Together in Prayer - World Humanitarian Day, 19 August

On the World Humanitarian Day, we pray together as brothers and sisters with one heart: 

O Lord, we ask You to stand by Your Holy Church, and send the good people it needs its way, to spread Your love and Holy message among men. Grant parents the gift of sacrifice so they dedicate their children to Your service. Fill the youth with more grace so they respond to your calling with joy. Allow us to all reunite one day in Your heaven, to thank and glorify You till the end of time. Amen.

(A Prayer for Vocations from the Syriac Maronite Church)
