Abba Father, we pray for the safety and protection of our nuns, priests and laity serving in various parts of the world and especially in remote areas of India. Despite accusations and attacks, they selflessly serve the poorest, empowering the needy. We ask for Your divine protection over them.

Grant them courage and strength in the face of adversity. May those who misunderstand their intentions see the truth of their love and service. Soften the hearts of violent groups, and guide them towards peace and understanding. May they recognize the value of these dedicated servants and respect them as humans. May the police and other officials be available to protect them.

Bless your nuns, priests and laity with wisdom, compassion and perseverance as they spread the Gospel of Jesus.May their work bring hope and joy to those they serve. We pray for their safety and well-being.May Your love surround and protect them. We pray in the name of Jesus our Lord, who suffered and died on the cross and rose to new life.

Amen.
