Penitential Rite:
Lord Jesus - you call us to seek you out - Lord have mercy.
Christ Jesus - you call us to a life a discipleship - Christ have mercy.
Lord Jesus - you respond to us in the midst of our reality - Lord have mercy.
Prayers of the Faithful
Introduction: As we search for the Lord in our journey of faith, let us present to him our prayers for our needs and for the needs of our brothers and sisters:
1. For the holy Church: that we may extend God’s love to all who are on the margins of society, that we may invite them to seek out Jesus.
2. For the grace to risk all for Christ: that like Zacchaeus, may we humble ourselves in order to connect with Christ in our lives.
3. For the gift of joy: that we may rejoice in our faith as we experience Jesus in our lives as our Lord and Savior.
4. For the ability to forgive and reconcile: that we may forgive those who have wronged us and reach out to them with concern and kindness.
5. For the grace of conversion: that we may accept God’s generous love, return to the path of life and be renewed through God’s mercy.
6. For the sick and shut-in: for healing in mind, body, and spirit.
7. For the repose of the souls of the faithful departed. For our deceased family and friends. For those souls in purgatory in the process of purification, readying themselves for unity with God.
8. For those prayers we hold in our hearts today.
Closing: As we search for God in our lives, we present these prayer to you through your son Jesus Christ, our Lord forever and ever.
