Lord Jesus - you scatter the darkness.
Christ Jesus - you bring light to the world.
Lord Jesus - you bring us hope.
Prayers of the faithful:
Out of our hope and faith, we present our prayers to our Heavenly Father:
1. For the Church: may she bring justice to the afflicted and peace to the broken-hearted.
2. For our governmental leaders: that they may grow in wisdom and judgment as the lead the people in the new year of 2024.
3. For those who feel excluded and separated from the Church and from society, that they may find healing and reconciliation.
4. That all the faithful here in the Diocese of Jackson may find strength and courage on their journey of faith in this new year.
5. For our students and teachers, for blessings for them in the new school semester.
6. For the prayers we hold in our hearts today.
As we continue our journey throughout the Christmas season, we present our prayers through your son Jesus Christ, our Lord forever and ever. AMEN.
