Introduction - We come to the table of the Lord today in humility, knowing that the first will be last and the last will be first.
Lord Jesus - You invite us to enter through the narrow gate - Lord have mercy.
Christ Jesus - You welcome the sinner - Christ have mercy.
Lord Jesus - You gather the nations to be one holy people - Lord have mercy.
Priest: The Lord prepares a banquet for all. He will not turn away from our prayers made in sincerity.
1. That Holy Scripture and the Church’s Sacraments may nourish and strengthen all believers, we pray to the Lord.
2. That the homeless, the hungry, and those in exile may find hope and help for the future, we pray to the Lord.
3. That the farmers and ranchers who feed our nation and the world may be given favorable weather and a bountiful harvest, we pray to the Lord.
4. For students, teachers, school administrators, that Christ and his truth lead them and guide them throughout the school year, we pray to the Lord.
5. For our first responders, for the men and women in the military and for our medical professionals, in gratitude for their service and prayers for their safety, we pray to the Lord.
6. For the prayers we hold in the silence of our hearts, we pray to the Lord.
Priest: God of Abraham, you know our works and our thoughts. Gather our prayers and shower us with your blessings. We make our prayers through your son Jesus Christ, our Lord forever and ever. AMEN.
