Lord Jesus - you bring us new life.
Christ Jesus - you call us to be missionary in spirit.
Lord Jesus - you call us to take our rest in you.
Prayers of the Faithful:
Priest: Ever mindful that Jesus is always there to show us how to listen for God’s voice and guide us according to God’s will for our lives, we present our prayers to God.
1. That we as the members of Christ’s body and Church may continue to listen to God’s insistent call to reach out to our neighbor.
2. That the leaders of the nations of the world will learn to listen for the voice of God as they carry out their earthly responsibilities to govern their people.
3. For an end to the violence perpetrated by harsh words, deadly weapons, or cold indifference.
4. For the Gospel of Life, that we may respect human life and God’s creation in our words and our actions. We pray for all children, born and unborn.
5. For people of all religions, that they be able to practice their faith in freedom and openness.
6. For the sick and the dying. For the repose of the souls of the faithful departed.
7. For the prayers we hold in the silence of our hearts.
Priest: Father God, you gave us ears to hear your voice and hearts to live according to your will. Please help us to use these gifts to love and serve others. In Jesus’s name we pray, for he is our Lord forever and ever. Amen.
