Lord Jesus - you come to us in the midst of our reality.
Christ Jesus - you give us strength and courage.
Lord Jesus - you reach out to the poor and vulnerable in a special way.
Out of our humble hearts, let us present our prayers to our heavenly Father:
1. For peace: that God will inspire those working to for peace throughout the work, especially in Ukraine and other places torn apart by war. For peace in justice in our communities. For respect and understanding in situations of conflict.
2. For those who are struggling with mental illness, depression and addiction. For those having a hard time getting through the tough cold dark winter months. For all affected by the harsh winter weather.
3. For all who are ill: that God will heal the sick and help our healthcare providers.
4. For all who have died: that they may share fully in the new life of the resurrection and live with God forever.
5. Four our children, youth, and college students. May they see God’s presence in the studies, in their school actives, and in their times of fun and pleasure.
6. For the prayers we hold in the silence of our hearts.
With joy and hope, we present these prayers through your son Jesus Christ, our Lord forever and ever. AMEN.
