Lord Jesus - you call us to justice.
Christ Jesus - you proclaim God's kingdom.
Lord Jesus - you show us how to have the heart of a servant.
My brothers and sisters, as servants in God’s kingdom, let us turn to God in prayer:
1. That our worship may stir the Church to bear witness to the Gospel in the reality of our world.
2. That our governmental leaders may be guided by the wisdom of God’s Spirit for the benefit of the people, unifying our communities and our country.
3. That those suffering drought, brush fires, and high temperature may find relief and safety.
4. That all who are ill with diseases and illnesses receive the healing touch of God. For front-line workers, caregivers, and family member, that God may give them the strength and courage that they need.
5. For our students, teachers, and families as they all soon begin the new school year. For God's presence with them in their studies, their learning, and their school activities.
6. For all who have entered into eternal life, for our deceased loved ones, family members, and parishioners. For the faithful departed who have no one to pray for them.
7. For the prayers we hold in our hearts.
God of love, you call us to be a people of prayer and to persevere in faith. Help us to be faithful servants of your kingdom. We ask our prayers through your son Jesus Christ our Lord forever and ever. AMEN.
