Lord Jesus - you bring us salvation
Christ Jesus - you call us to repentance
Lord Jesus - you call us to carry our crosses
We bring our prayers to our heavenly Father today with simplicity and humility.
1. We pray for the Church: that we who have died with Christ in baptism, may recognize our dignity in being children of God, and sisters and brothers to one another.
2. We pray for Pope Francis, Bishop Kopacz, and all our Church leaders: that the Spirit of the Lord may be upon them, giving them counsel, strength, & fortitude in leading God’s people.
3. We pray for the Holy Spirit’s presence for our elected officials, giving them wisdom in making decisions in these challenging times.
4. For our seminarians, our deacon candidates in formation and all discerning a vocation, for grace to receive God’s will.
5. For the men and women in the military, for first responders, police officers, and fire fighters, for safety and protection.
6. We pray for those directly affected by the current pandemic; for healthcare workers serving on the front lines; and for those searching for treatments and a vaccine.
7. For those prayers we hold in our hearts today.
Heavenly Father, we present these prayers through your Son Jesus Christ, our Lord forever and ever. AMEN.
