Lord Jesus - You are the glory of Israel - Lord have mercy.
Christ Jesus - You are the long awaited Messiah - Christ have mercy.
Lord Jesus - You are the Prince of Peace - Lord have mercy.
PRIEST: As we commemorate St Stephen and the martyrs of the faith today at Mass, let us bring our prayers to our God of love and mercy:
1. For the members of our Christian family, that they may have joy and peace throughout the Christmas season.
2. For our governmental leaders, that they lead the people with peace and justice.
3. For those who suffer for their faith and those who are persecuted for their faith, that the Lord will give them strength and courage in their struggles.
4. For those who live with illness and frailty, for their caregiver and family members, for healing in their lives.
5. For the homeless, the poor, and the hungry, may they receive the help and assistance they need.
6. For our family members and loved ones who have died. For the faithful departed who entered eternal life in 2023. Fo the souls in purgatory.
7. For the prayers we hold in the silence of our hearts.
PRIEST: O God, your care for us is constant. We ask that you hear the prayers we make in faith and trust through your son Jesus Christ, our Lord for ever and ever. AMEN.
