Lord Jesus - you ask us to carry our crosses.
Christ Jesus - you are the word of God.
Lord Jesus - you came as a servant.
As we come together in faith and worship today, we offer our prayer petitions to our heavenly Father:
1. That our lay and ordained leaders will proclaim the truth of our Lord Jesus Christ, teaching and admonishing with wisdom.
2. That we may continue to practice the Lenten disciplines of prayer, fasting, and almsgiving as we continue our Lenten journey.
3. For an end to terrorism and war in the world. For peaceful resolutions to all conflicts between nations.
4. For the spiritual growth of our parish community, that we will commit ourselves to Christ’s Gospel message with zeal, self-sacrifice, and hope.
5. That we may unite the crosses that we carry to the cross of Christ.
6. For those who risk their lives in order to protect others, that they be strengthened, shielded, and aided.
7. For the prayers we hold in our hearts today.
Loving Father, we ask that you guide us in the right paths and give us courage to face the challenges of life. We present our prayers through your son, Jesus Christ, our Lord forever and ever. AMEN.
