Lord Jesus - you love us with your sacred heart.
Christ Jesus - you bring us the Father’s love.
Lord Jesus - you proclaim the kingdom of God.
Priest: As we celebrate the Sacred Heart of Jesus today, we present our prayers to our heavenly Father with faith and hope:
1. We pray for the Church: that we may work to form our hearts according to the sacred heart of Christ.
2. We pray for Francis our Pope, Joseph our Bishop, and all our clergy and lay leaders. That they may serve God's people with joy and that they may receive care and support from the people.
3. We pray for our Diocese and our parish. That we may look to the past with gratitude and discern God's will in our present.
4. We pray for those who have been abandoned and rejected. That they may experience their dignity in the love of Christ.
5. We pray for our country. That we may honor the poor and the vulnerable and serve the common good.
6. We pray for the sick, the suffering, and the dying. That they may find healing and strength in Jesus.
7. We pray for all those who have died, especially for our family members and loved ones and members of our Christian community. That they may rest secure in the Sacred Heart of Christ.
8. For the prayers we offer in the silence of our hearts.
Priest: We present these prayers through your Son Jesus Christ as we honor his sacred heart today. He is our Lord forever and ever. AMEN.
