Lord Jesus - you are our King and our humble servant - Lord have mercy.
Christ Jesus - you are the son of Mary, the Christ-bearer - Christ have mercy.
Lord Jesus - you are a living presence among us - Lord have mercy.
Prayers of the faithful:
Priest: We unite our prayers with the prayers of Mary, Our Lady of Mount Carmel, for our needs, the needs of the Church, and the needs of the world.
1. We pray for the all men and women in ministry in the Church - that they may all call on the strength of our Blessed Mother, Our Lady of Mount Carmel in their leadership roles. We continue to pray for Bishop Kopacz during his time of vacation and rest in Pennsylvania.
2. We pray that all the nations of the world and their leaders may work for true economic justice and equality.
3. For the poor, the stranger, and the oppressed - that they may be welcomed by our community.
4. That all youth, like Mary, may be open to God’s call in their lives, that they may say “yes” to serving others.
5. That we may trust in Mary’s intercessions and imitate her virtues.
6. For the sick and shut-ins, the repose of the souls of the faithful departed, and for the prayers we hold in our heart.
Priest: Gracious God, you chose Mary to bear our Savior. Hear the prayers of your children and grant them in the name of your son Jesus Christ, our Lord forever and ever.
