Prayers of the faithful - 9 March 2023 - Thursday of the 2nd week of Lent

Lord Jesus - you call us to faithfulness. 

Christ Jesus - you journey with us during the holy weeks of Lent. 

Lord Jesus - you call us hope. 

Priest; We present our prayers to our God of love and mercy: 

1.  We pray for the grace to have a greater love for our families, our Church and our community.

2. We pray for our Church that she may be like a fruitful vineyard, nurturing all who seek the wonder and peace of God’s love.

3. We pray for peace and justice in our world. 

4. We pray for all those in our Church in our Diocese and throughout the world dedicating time, prayer, and reflection on the future of our Church as we engage on the Synodal pathway.

5. We pray for the sick and shut-ins and for those we are in the hospital, hospice, or nursing home.  

6. For all our children and youth. May God accompany them on their journey.  

7. For the prayers we hold in the silence of our hearts. 

Priest: We ask, Lord, that you hear the prayers we offer in your name and show us the way to live our lives as you desire with love and kindness in our hearts. We make these prayers through Jesus Christ, our Lord forever and ever. Amen.
