Lord Jesus - you bring us healing.
Christ Jesus - you bring us love.
Lord Jesus - you call us to reconciliation.
In the first days of our Lenten journey, let us remember all those in need:
1. For Pope Francis, Bishop Joseph Kopacz, and all our leaders in faith. May they provide us guidance and wisdom on our Lenten journey.
2. For the leaders of the nations of the world and for our leaders here in the United States. For the leaders and people of Ukraine in the midst of the war that they are enduring.
3. For the hungry, the poor and the homeless, may our outreach and God's healing presence help fill their needs.
4. For all who need healing in body, mind, and spirit. For all who are battling addictions. For those in the hospital, hospice, and nursing home.
5. For the repose of the souls of the faithful departed, for their entry into eternal life. We pray especially for the souls in purgatory.
6. For our own needs and intentions. For the prayers we hold in our hearts this evening.
God of all goodness, you have shown love from the dawn of creation: make us know your ways, and give us your help, we pray, through Christ our Lord forever and ever. Amen.
