Lord Jesus - You bring us the blessings of the Father.
Christ Jesus - You open our eyes and our ears to the truth of God.
Lord Jesus - You are the beloved son of the Father.
With humble and faithful hearts, let us now present our prayers to our heavenly Father:
1. For the Christian faithful: that we may follow Christ, the head of the Church, ever more closely and continue his mission of reconciling others to God and to one another.
2. For our communities of faith at Holy Savior and Immaculate Conception: that our deeds of compassion and service may be signs of God’s presence in our midst.
3. For openness of heart: that we may allow the pain and suffering of others to move our hearts and spirits to a loving response.
4. For insight: that God will help us recognize our neighbor in the refugee, the homeless person, and the marginalized of society, inspiring us to reach out in help and service.
5. For conversion of heart: that God will teach us how to love with our whole hearts and guide us in moving our religious ideals from ideas into action.
6. For the faithful departed: for their entry into eternal life. And for the souls in the process of purification in purgatory.
7. For the prayers we hold in our hearts today.
As you call us to reach out to our brothers and sisters in need and to live out the spirit of the Eucharist in our daily lives, we present these prayers through your son Jesus Christ, our Lord forever and ever. AMEN.
