Pray with the global church

God of all Comfort, we lift up the community of Saint-Simon Catholic Church in New Brunswick, grieving the loss of their historic sanctuary. As the flames consumed the building, may Your Spirit sustain the hearts that are now heavy with loss. Reveal Your merciful nature to the one responsible, for You are a God of forgiveness and compassion. Let the parishioners of Saint-Simon find strength to forgive, as they have been forgiven. In the ashes of destruction, plant seeds of hope and renewal. Raise up a spirit of unity among them, and let the light of Christ shine brightly in this community. May Your name be glorified through their testimony of grace and resilience. In the mercy of Jesus our Lord, Amen.
