Lord Jesus - You call us to be missionary in spirit.
Christ Jesus - You bring us hope.
Lord Jesus - You bring us Good News.
With hope and faith, let us bring our prayers to our heavenly Father:
1. For Pope Francis: that God will renew him, bring healing to him in his poor health, and help him lead the Church to greater service, love and unity.
2. As we celebrate St Francis de Sales in this week of prayer for Christian unity, we pray that we may cooperate and collaborate with Christians everywhere to proclaim the Gospel and to work for peace and justice.
3. For all who are called to bear prophetic witness: that their witness to the truth may touch hearts and be an opportunity for deeper conversion for all God’s people.
4. For our elected officials: that the Spirit will guide them in addressing the issues of violence, injustice, and poverty, and to work more diligently for those who are oppressed or forgotten by society.
5. For healing of families and communities: that those touched by violence, anger, division, or addictions may heal and reconcile and be brought to wholeness.
6. For the prayers we hold in the silence of our heart:
We present these prayers through your Son Jesus Christ, our Lord forever and ever. AMEN.
