O God, through the Apostle Peter, taught by Your divine revelation, You willed to join the first Gentiles to Your Church. Through his intercession may we, who go forward with fidelity on the way of Your commandments, find grace at the throne of Your divine majesty. Amen
1. For the Church, that her pastors and all the faithful may feel the urgency of the missionary call of Jesus, and be led by the Holy Spirit into the new evangelisation: Let us pray to the Lord! Response: Lord, hear our prayer
2. For the entire human family, that in every people and nation the Holy Spirit may prepare the hearts of the men and women of our time for the obedience of faith in Christ: Let us pray to the Lord!
3. For those who do not know Christ but who seek God with a sincere heart, that they may soon be reached by the joyful news of peace through Jesus Christ, Who is Lord of all: Let us pray to the Lord!
4. For those whose lives are touched by the mystery of suffering, that they may experience the saving power of Jesus, Who passed by blessing and healing all who were under the power of the devil: Let us pray to the Lord!
5. For ourselves and our families, that our pilgrimage in the Holy Land may obtain for us the grace to rediscover our Christian vocation and to live it to the full: Let us pray to the Lord!
O Father, You sent Christ, the True Light, into the world. Through the intercession of the Apostle Peter, pour out the Holy Spirit to spread the seed of truth in the hearts of men and dispose them to the obedience of faith, so that all Your children, reborn in Baptism, may form the one people of the New Covenant. We ask this through Christ, our Lord. Amen.
