Lord Jesus - you bring us justice.
Christ Jesus - you bring us hope.
Lord Jesus - you bring us love.
Priest: As we journey through Lent we pause to keep the feast of Patrick, the patron saint of Ireland. We praise God the creator, who sustained Patrick and who sustains the Church in good times and bad.
1. That the leaders of our Church may have the courage and wisdom of Patrick.
2. That those who are struggling on their journey may know the love and support of the Christian Community wherever they may be.
3. That peace and reconciliation may grow here in our country and throughout the world: (short pause) Lord hear us.
4. That we in our actions and our prayers reach out to the most vulnerable and defenseless in our society.
5. May the stranger in our midst be treated with dignity and respect.
6. For the sick and shut-in and the repose of the souls of the faithful departed.
Priest: God of truth and beauty, you look after us through our ups and downs through life. Always keep your flock in your care. We present these prayers through your son Jesus Christ Our Lord forever and ever. Amen.
