Prayers of the faithful - 29 November 2023 - Wednesday of the 34th week in ordinary time

Lord Jesus - you are the word of God. 

Christ Jesus - you call us to carry our crosses. 

Lord Jesus - you are our Savior and Redeemer.  

Priest: As we journey together in faith and hope, let us now present our prayers to our heavenly Father: 

1. We pray for our Church leaders and our governmental leaders as the lead and as they make important decisions.  For wisdom and courage for them in their governance. 

2. For those who are persecuted for their faith and who gave up their lives for the faith.  May the Lord lead, guide and protect those who are discriminated against, condemned, and attacked for their faith.  

3. We pray that all of us may work for justice in the reality of our lives in order to bring about greater understanding and collaboration.  

4. For unity and solitary in our nation, in our communities, and in our families. 

5. For the sick and shut-ins, for all who need healing in their lives. 

6. For the repose of the souls of the faithful departed, for their entry into eternal life.  

7. For those prayers we hold in our hearts today.  

Priest: As we unite our prayers with the prayers of the community of saints, we present our prayers through your Son Jesus Christ, our Lord forever and ever.  AMEN.
