Lord Jesus, you show us the ways of justice and peace: Lord, have mercy.
Lord Jesus, you heal us and forgive us our sins: Christ, have mercy.
Lord Jesus, you came that we might have life in its fullness: Lord, have mercy.
Prayers of the faithful:
We present our prayers to our heavenly Father this evening with faith and hope:
1. That the leaders of the Church may preach with faith and courage, spreading the Gospel message throughout the world.
2. That the women and men who labor for justice and peace may not give up and may persevere.
3. That Christian missionaries may be blessed and protected as they spread the Gospel message throughout the world.
4. That those who are recovering from natural disasters may receive the assistance that they need. We pray for aide workers and all who are helping in the recovery process.
5. That we may continue to care for our neighbors — in good days and bad. We pray for those who are struggling with depression, mental illness, and addictions.
6. That our faith communities here in the Diocese of Jackson may be strengthened. May we bring comfort, healing and life to our neighbor.
7. For the sick and shut-in of our families and of our parish community. For the repose of the souls of the faithful departed.
8. For the prayers we hold in our hearts today.
We present our prayers today through your son Jesus Christ, our Lord forever and ever. AMEN.
