Lord Jesus - you proclaim the kingdom of God.
Christ Jesus - you call us to justice.
Lord Jesus - you intercede for us at the right hand of the Father.
Priest: Ever-faithful God, trusting in your loving care for all people, we bring these prayers to you with faith and hope:
1. For Christians throughout the world, that their faith may support them as they strive to live as Christ taught.
2. For our government leaders: that they will pursue justice, truth, and the communal good in the light of God’s laws and commandments.
3. For all those who work for peace and justice in our world, that they may see good results in their work.
4. For an end to terrorism in the world, and for healing of all hatred and division.
5. For our Holy Father’s Intention for February: For parishes: We pray that parishes, placing communion at the center, may increasingly become communities of faith, fraternity and welcome towards those most in need.
6. For the sick and shut-in, for those in the hospital, hospice, and nursing home. For the repose of the souls of the faithful departed.
7. For those prayers we hold in our hearts today.
Priest: We offer these prayers, gracious God, trusting in your care as we gather around your altar. We know that you will answer our prayers in ways that are best for us. With grateful hearts we pray in Jesus’ name, for he is our Lord forever and ever. Amen.
