Prayers of the Faithful - weekday during Lent

Lord Jesus - you are humble of heart - Lord have mercy. 

Christ Jesus - you call us to be missionary in spirit - Christ have mercy. 

Lord Jesus - you are the Son of the Father - Lord have mercy. 

As we continue our Lenten journey today, let us bring our prayers to God: 

1. That, by prayer, fasting and almsgiving, the holy people of God will accompany Jesus on his journey during these holy days of Lent.  

2. That all Christians and all people of good-will may listen to the Word of God and obey his commandments in their daily lives. 

3. That we will find time each day for God, seek him in the silence of our hearts and learn to love him more and more. 

4. That God will lead us to the path of justice and peace.  We pray for those who are being harmed in the world by war, terrorism, and violence. 

5. That our religious and governmental leaders will work together in this time of crisis, especially keeping in mind the marginalized and the vulnerable.  

6. For the sick and shut-ins, for those affected by the Coronavirus and the flu, for those who need healing mind, body, and spirit.  

God of mercy, keep us in your love.  We ask these prayers through your son Jesus Christ, our Lord forever and ever.  AMEN.
