Lord Jesus - you proclaim the kingdom of God.
Christ Jesus - you call us to follow God's commandments
Lord Jesus - you bring us justice.
With simplicity of heart, we present our prayers to the Lord:
1. We pray for the Church: that we may be imitators of the Lord, receiving the word faithfully, and experiencing the joy that comes from the Holy Spirit. We pray to the Lord.
2. We pray for conversion of hearts: that a culture centered on the respect of every human life will replace the bipartisan politics that surround issues such as abortion, gun violence, workers’ rights, health care, foreign affairs, human trafficking, and euthanasia.
3. We pray for all who have asked for our prayers: that the Lord may be for them a rock of refuge and a stronghold of help and powerful kindness.
4. We pray for the fift of Wisdom: that the Holy Spirit will guide us in being faithful citizens without compromising our discipleship and service of God.
5. We pray for all with mental illness: that God will comfort them and their families, and inspire leaders with ways to expand treatment and assistance for them.
6. We pray for the sick and the shut-in. We pray for the faithful departed: that Jesus may deliver them from all evil and bring them into His glorious heaven.
We make our prayers through your Son Jesus Christ, our Lord for ever and ever.
