Penitential Rite:
Lord Jesus, you are the light that dispels the darkness of the world, Lord have mercy.
Christ Jesus, you are our Savior and Redeemer: Christ have mercy.
Lord Jesus, you are the way that leads us to the eternal kingdom of God: Lord have mercy.
Prayers of the Faithful
Priest: The Lord looks upon us with love and mercy, calling us to approach him in awe and respect. Let us pray for our needs and the needs of others.
1. That the Church throughout the world might listen to God’s beloved Son and trust in his promises, especially during this holy season of Lent.
2. That our world may be transformed by peace and harmony. We pray for an end to war, violence, and terrorism in our communities in the United States and in the nations of the world.
3. For our governmental leaders, that they may they put aside differences and work together in unity and solidarity.
4. For those children preparing for first communion, for the youth preparing for confirmation, and for those adults in our RCIA program. May their Lenten journey help them deepen their faith and trust in the Son of God.
5. That all of us may follow the Gospel of life in our words and in our actions, respecting human life from the moment of conception to the moment of natural death.
6. For all those affected by bad weather and natural disasters.
7. For our sick and shut-in. For the faithful departed, for their entry into eternal life.
8. For the prayers we hold in the silence of our hearts.
Priest: Our soul waits for you, O Lord, for you are our help and our protection. Hear these our prayers and graciously grant them through Jesus Christ your Son, our Lord for ever and ever. AMEN.
