Lord Jesus - you call us to carry our crosses.
Christ Jesus - you call us to stand up for our faith.
Lord Jesus - you are our Savior and our Redeemer.
With humble hearts, let us now present our prayers to our Heavenly Father:
1. For the Church: that we will live as a Eucharistic people, giving ourselves and sharing of ourselves, as Christ continually does for us.
2. For all missionaries, for the sacrifices they make to spread that Gospel message, and for those throughout the world who are persecuted for their faith.
3. For peace in the world, especially in those places torn apart by war and violence.
4. For our children and youth: as they continue their journey throughout the school year, may they be safe and may they feel God accompanying them through their school work and their activities.
5. For the Gospel of Life: may all profess the dignity of human life in their words and actions, from the moment of conception to the moment of natural death.
6. For those who feel separated from God and from the Church. May they feel the people of God and the Church welcoming them back.
7. For the sick and shut-ins and for the repose of the souls of the faithful departed.
8. For the prayers we hold in our hearts.
We present these prayers, heavenly Father, through your Son Jesus Christ, our Lord forever and ever. AMEN.
