Prayers of the faithful - Tuesday of the 9th week of Ordinary time - 06 June 2023

Lord Jesus - you are the holy son of the Father. 

Christ Jesus - you bring us your Father’s love. 

Lord Jesus - you bring us hope and joy. 

Priest: We present our prayers to our heavenly Father with faith and love: 

1. For the Church, that through her teaching and preaching, we may enter into a deeper relationship with the divine.  

2. That our work toward justice here on earth will help us better know God’s authority and majesty. 

3. That our Catholic community in the Diocese of Jackson may build up unity and solidarity. 

4. That those who struggle with addictions, mental illness, and depression may experience strength and healing from the Holy Spirit.  May they receive the medical and spiritual help they need.  

5. For those who are separated from God. For those who have left the faith. That the love of the blessed Trinity may touch their minds and their hearts. 

6. For greater awareness for God’s presence in our lives.  

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

Priest: Loving Father, let us stay vigilant in our faith and open to your creative action in our lives. We present these prayers through your son Jesus Christ, our Lord forever and ever.  AMEN.
