Lord Jesus - you came to earth as a humble servant - Lord have mercy.
Christ Jesus - you are the son of Mary - Christ have mercy.
Lord Jesus - you meet us in our grief and in our sorrow - Lord have mercy.
Prayers of the faithful:
Priest: Let us unite our prayers with the prayers of Mary to pray for our needs, the needs of the Church, and the needs of the world.
1. For our governmental leaders and Church leaders - that they may be faithful disciples like Mary, our Mother.
2. That all the nations of the world and their leaders may work for true economic justice and lead the people in unity and solidarity.
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 hearts.
7. For our Carmelite community in Jackson, and for the Carmelite communities in the Philippines and throughout the world.
Priest: Gracious God, you called Mary to visit her cousin Elizabeth in her time of need. Hear the prayers of your children and grant them in the name of your son Jesus Christ, our Lord forever and ever.
