prayers of the faithful - 12th week in ordinary time

Lord Jesus - you call us to justice - Lord have mercy. 

Christ Jesus - you call us to grow in our faith - Christ have mercy. 

Lord Jesus - you are our savior and our redeemer -

Priest: Let us now present our prayers to the God of love and mercy:

1. For our Church Leaders, that they lead us to be a people of justice and mercy. 

2. For our governmental leaders, that they lead us to construct a just society, free of violence and division.  

3. For our first responders, for our medical professionals, and for the men and women serving in the military.  

 4. That communities may look into their hearts and see the ways that they can help each other and live in harmony.  

5. For those who are sick, in body, mind or spirit, for God’s healing presence in their lives.  

6. For the repose of the souls of the faithful departed. 

7. For those prayers we hold in our hearts and all the prayers offered in our mass today.  

Priest: Lord our God, you have been our help, in the shadow of your wings we rejoice: hear the prayer we make, through Christ our Lord forever and ever. Amen.
