Prayers of the faithful - 1 March 2024 - Friday of the 2nd week of Lent

Lord Jesus - you call us to faithfulness. 

Christ Jesus - you ask us to accompany you during the holy weeks of Lent. 

Lord Jesus - you call us to hope. 

PRIEST: With faith and trust, we present our prayers to our God of love and mercy: 

1.  We pray for the grace to have a greater love for our families, for the Church, and for our community.

2. We pray for all of our parishes in the Diocese of Jackson may bear much fruit and may nurture all who seek the wonder and peace of God’s love.

3. We pray for peace in our world and at this time and healing for those who are victims of violence and war. 

4. We pray that all of us may dedicate time, prayer, and reflection on the future of our Church as we keep mind the goals of the Synod and the reimagining process in our Diocese. 

5. We pray for the sick and shut-ins and for those we are in the hospital, hospice, or nursing home.  

6. For all our children and youth, that the Lord will continue to accompany them in their studies and in their activities.  

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

PRIEST: We ask, Lord, that you hear the prayers we offer in your name and show us the way to live our lives as you desire with love and kindness in our hearts. We make these prayers through Jesus Christ, our Lord forever and ever. Amen.
