Lord Jesus - you call us to justice.
Christ Jesus - you proclaim the values of God's kingdom.
Lord Jesus - you show us how to have the heart of a servant.
PRIEST: My brothers and sisters, as servants in God’s kingdom, let us turn to God in prayer:
1. That our worship may stir the Church to bear witness to the Gospel in the reality of our world.
2. That our governmental leaders may be guided by the wisdom of the Holy Spirit for the benefit of the people, unifying our communities and our country.
3. That those suffering drought, storms, or high temperatures may find relief and safety.
4. That all who are ill with diseases and illnesses may receive the healing touch of God. For front-line workers, caregivers, and family members, that God may give them the strength and courage that they need.
5. For our students, teachers, and families at the beginning of the new school year. For God's presence with them in their studies, their learning, and their school activities.
6. For all who have entered into eternal life, for our deceased loved ones, family members, and parishioners. For the faithful departed who have no one to pray for them.
7. For the prayers we hold in our hearts today.
PRIEST: God of love, you call us to be a people of prayer and to persevere in faith. Help us to be faithful servants of your kingdom. We ask our prayers through your son Jesus Christ our Lord forever and ever. AMEN.
