Lord Jesus - you bring us new life.
Christ Jesus - you call us to be missionary in spirit.
Lord Jesus - you call us to take our rest in you.
Priest: Ever mindful that Jesus is always there to show us how to listen for God’s voice and guide us according to God’s will for our lives, we present our prayers to God.
1. For all the members of Christ’s body and church to continue to listen to God’s insistent call to help the poor and the needy.
2. For the leaders of this world, that they learn to listen for the voice of God as they carry out their earthly responsibilities to those whom they are duty-bound to serve.
3. For an end to the violence perpetrated by harsh words, deadly weapons, or cold indifference.
4. For the Gospel of Life, that we may respect human life and God’s creation in our words and our actions, and we pray that all unborn children be protected in law and welcomed in love.
5. For our Holy Father’s Intention for January – May the Lord give us the grace to live in full fellowship with our brothers and sisters of other religions, praying for one another, open to all.*
6. That people everywhere receive the patience, vigilance, and understanding necessary to keep us safe during the current surge of the COVID19.
7. For the sick and the dying - for the repose of the souls of the faithful departed.
Priest: Father God, you gave us ears to hear your voice and hearts designed to live according to your will. Please help us to use these gifts to love and serve others. In Jesus’s name we pray. Amen.
