Lord Jesus, you were a servant to the poor and the oppressed: Christ, have mercy.
Christ Jesus, you bring us the Father's love: Christ have mercy.
Lord Jesus, you call us to justice: Lord, heave mercy.
Prayers of the faithful:
We present our prayers to our heavenly Father of love and mercy:
1. That the leaders of the Church may preach with faith and courage, spreading the Gospel message throughout the world.
2. That our governmental leaders will gain wisdom from God in the challenges they face as they lead their people.
3. That Christian missionaries may be blessed and protected.
4. That those who are recovering from the recent storms, hurricanes, tornados and wildfires in different parts of the United States may receive the assistance that they need. We pray for aid workers and all who are helping in the recovery process.
5. That we may continue to care for our neighbors, both in good days and bad. We pray for those who are struggling with depression, mental illness, and addictions.
6. That like mother Teresa, we may reach out to the poor and marginalized in acts of love and mercy.
7. That our community may be strengthened and bring comfort, healing and life to all our parishioners.
8. For the sick & shut-in. For the repose of the souls of the faithful departed.
9. For the prayers we hold in the silence of our hearts.
Heavenly Father, as we are gathered by the word of life and as we are supported by the power of the sacraments, we ask our prayers through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, as he is our Lord forever and ever. AMEN.
