Introduction: Today, as we celebrate Catechetical Sunday, we give thanks for our catechists and teachers of religious education. Let us be reminded how Jesus, our great teacher, continually teaches us about our journey toward God’s eternal kingdom.
Lord Jesus - you call into your all-embracing love and compassion.
Christ Jesus - you gave yourself as a ransom for all.
Lord Jesus - you are the way that leads us to enteral happiness.
Priest: With humble and sincere hearts, let us offer our prayer petitions this morning for all those in need:
1. For the Church: that we may be generous with our treasures and our talents, sharing what we have to the glory of God, we pray to the Lord.
2. For all who exercise governmental authority, that they be honest and trustworthy in the leadership that is entrusted to them, we pray to the Lord.
3. For those who suffering in poverty, for the unemployed and the homeless, for families who struggle to make ends meet, that their needs may be lifted up to our heavenly Father, we pray to the Lord.
4. For catechists, teachers, and all who instruct others in the faith, that they may know the value of their efforts as they instill and deepen a love of the Lord in all they teach, we pray to the Lord.
5. For the sick of our parish, our families and our community, for healing in body, mind, and spirit, we pray to the. Lord.
6. For the faithful departed, for their entry into eternal life, we pray to the Lord.
