Lord Jesus - you call us to repent.
Christ Jesus - you forgive the sins of the contrite.
Lord Jesus - you will come again in glory.
Priest: We present our prayers to our heavenly Father with humble hearts this morning:
1. For our Church leaders and our governmental leaders, may they lead us away from division and violence to unity and reconciliation.
2. For those making new commitments, that God will fill with hope those getting married, becoming new parents, making religious profession, or entering new careers. That God will guide them through all the joys and sorrows of life’s journey
3. For all who are in transition in life: that God will give them courage in facing the unknown, help them to recognize the gifts God has given them, and open them to new opportunities for growth and life
4. For all who have lost hope, that God will open new opportunities for those who lack education, employment, healthcare, or safe housing and help them to move forward in faith
5. For displaced persons, that God will guide those who have fled violence, famine, or natural disasters, keep them safe from harm, and lead them to places of safety.
6. For the repose of the souls of the faithful departed. For their entry into eternal life.
7. For the prayers we hold in our hearts today.
Priest: With joy in our hearts, we present these prayers through your son Jesus Christ our Lord forever and ever.
