Lord Jesus - you suffered the passion of the cross.
Christ Jesus - you call us to take up our crosses and follow you.
Lord Jesus - you bring us redemption and salvation.
Priest: As we commemorate the Feast of the Exaltation of the Holy Cross of Jesus today at mass, we present our prayers to the heavenly Father:
1. That all of our Church leaders lead us and guide us in wisdom and courage as we carry our crosses on our journey of faith.
2. That we may all see it as our mission to evangelize our brothers and sisters in the faith.
3. That we may undertake corporal and spiritual works of mercy with love and faith, we pray to the Lord.
4. For those without hope, those looking for work, those who are struggling with addictions, depression or mental health, and those who have fallen away from the Church, that God may give them hope and encouragement.
5. For healing for all of us in body, mind, and spirit. For the faithful departed, for their entry into eternal life.
6. For the prayers we hold in the silence of our hearts today.
Priest, as we continue our journey of faith with dignity and hope, we present our prayers through your Son Jesus Christ, our Lord forever and ever. AMEN.
