Introduction - Even though we don’t always understand God’s thoughts and actions and the reality of the world around us, we should take comfort in knowing that God loves us and sent his son for our salvation. We are to trust that no matter what, God is with us. May we be reassured by that truth as we gather for Mass today.
Lord Jesus - you are the true source of love and forgiveness.
Christ Jesus - you are the Word of God made flesh.
Lord Jesus - you are the way that leads us to eternal happiness.
Priest: The Lord is near to us when we call. Let us call upon the Lord now with our needs and needs of our brothers and sisters:
1. That we the Church welcome others to share in the work of bringing the kingdom of God to fulfillment, we pray to the Lord.
2. That those who feel abandoned by God or abandoned by the Church may find it in their hearts to seek healing and to seek the Lord, for the God is near to them, we pray to the Lord.
3. For our Jewish brothers and sisters who are celebrating their holy day Yom Kippur, we pray to the Lord.
4. For the unemployed, for those looking for new work, for those who are struggling in their jobs, that God may lead them to better opportunities and a more fulfilling work life, we pray to the Lord.
5. As we celebrate the feast day of the Archangels this upcoming Friday on September 29th, we pray for all police officers, first responders and the men and women of the military who have St Michael the Archangel as their patron saint. We pray for the Catholic community of St Michael the Archangel at the state prison in Pearl, we pray to the Lord.
6. For the faithful departed, for their entry into eternal life. For healing for the sick and the shut-in. We pray to the Lord.
7. For all the prayers we hold in the silence of our hearts, for all our prayer intentions spoken and unspoken, we pray to the Lord.
Priest: Generous God, you extend your love and mercy to those who call upon you. Extend your mercy to others as you listen to the prayers we make today though your beloved son, Jesus Christ, our Lord forever and ever. Amen.
