Lord Jesus - you call us to hope.
Christ Jesus - you call us to be missionary in spirit.
Lord Jesus - you are seated at the right hand of the Father.
Priest - As disciples on our journey of faith, we present our prayers and concerns to our loving and merciful Father:
1. For our Holy Father Pope Francis, our Bishops and all Church leaders, that they we lead the people in joy in proclaiming the Good News of the Gospel.
2. For our governmental leaders, that they will help us guard the dignity of all human life, especially the unborn and the most vulnerable.
3. For all who are traveling, that the Lord will bless their travels and their time of rest and leisure and keep them safe.
4. That we the local Church may be a place of welcome and spiritual renewal.
5. For all who keep us safe in society: for first responders, for the men and women in the military, and for our medical professionals. In gratitude for their service and sacrifices.
6. For the repose of the souls of the faithful departed, for their entry into eternal life. For the souls in the process of purification in purgatory.
7. For the prayers we hold in the silence of our hearts.
Priest - As we ask you to send us the presence of the Holy Spirit to help heal our world, we present our prayers through your Son Jesus Christ, our Lord forever and ever. AMEN.
