Prayers of the faithful - feast of the presentation of the Blessed Virgin Mary in the Temple - 21 November 2019


Penitential Rite: 
Lord Jesus - you were born of the Virgin Mary - Lord have mercy. 
Christ Jesus - you are our Good Shepherd - Christ have mercy. 
Lord Jesus - you guide us on our journey of faith - Lord have mercy.  

Prayers of the faithful:
Priest:  Let us join our prayers with the prayers of the Blessed Mother Mary as we present our petitions to God: 
Our response is: Lord, hear our prayer.
1. May all Christians follow Mary's example of humility and service, especially those who are positions of Church leadership.  
2. For the Church reflected in Mary, that we may faithfully bring forth Jesus in our world. 
3. May all the nations of the world experience justice, wholeness, healing and peace.  
4. For the sick, the poor, the persecuted and the abandoned, that they may be consoled by our Mother's powerful protection.
5. For all the repose of the souls of the faithful departed, especially our deceased family members and loved ones and the souls in purgatory.  
6. For the prayers we hold in our hearts.  
Priest: Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, hear the prayers of your people, gathered to honor the most holy Mother of your Son, our Savior, who lives and reigns for ever and ever. Amen.
