• Pray for Metropolitan SABA and all his efforts to minister to all the people in his Archdiocese.
• Pray for the medical clinic, the kindergarten, the food box program, reaching people as the hands of Jesus.
• Pray for the poor of the faithful who are not able to support the Church, but who need the church to support them!
• Pray for the protections of Christians in this land under siege.
