Prayers of the faithful - solemnity of the Most Holy Trinity

Penitential rite:

Lord Jesus - you bring us the love of the Father - Lord have mercy. 

Christ Jesus - you send us the Holy Spirit as our advocate - Christ have mercy. 

Lord Jesus - you bring us your everlasting peace - Lord have mercy. 

Priest: The Trinity of love created all things.  We stand in wonder and awe before the marvels worked by the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.  Therefore, let us pray together, grateful for God’s many gifts.

For Francis our Pope and Joseph our Bishop.  For all the bishops we met together in Baltimore last week.  We pray that they may continue to lead us in worship of the true God.  We pray to the Lord.

For nations divided by hatred, violence, and fear, that the Spirit of truth may lead them to harmony and peace.  We pray to the Lord.

For people facing difficult obstacles and challenging in their lives that may at times seems overwhelming.  For those facing addictions and mental illness, that they may find patience, perseverance, and hope. We pray to the Lord.

For this community of believers, that we may live in the unity and love of the Trinity.  We pray to the Lord.

For the sick and shut-ins, for the repose of the souls of the faithful departed.  For those prayers that we hold in our hearts today.  We pray to the Lord.  

Priest: Father, hear our prayers, offered for all creation, in the unity of the Holy Spirit and in the love of your son, who lives and reigns forever and ever.
