Lord Jesus - you call us to discipleship
Christ Jesus - you call us to stand up for our faith.
Lord Jesus - you are our Savior and our Redeemer.
Priest: With Easter joy, we present our prayers to our heavenly Father:
1. That we in the Church may live as a Eucharistic people each day. May we give and share of ourselves, as Christ continually does for us.
2. As we celebrate St Simon Stock today, we pray for our Carmelite nuns in the Diocese of Jackson and for our secular Carmelite group.
3. For missionaries, for the sacrifices they make to spread that Gospel message. For those throughout the world who are persecuted for their faith.
4. For our first responders, for the men and women in the military, and for our medical professionals.
5. For our children and youth, may the Lord continue to bless them and guide them as their semester comes to an end.
6. For the Gospel of Life, that all Christian may profess the dignity of human life in their words and actions.
7. For the sick and shut-ins. For the repose of the souls of the faithful departed.
8. For the prayers we hold in the silence of our hearts.
Priest: We present these prayers, heavenly Father, through your Son Jesus Christ, our Lord forever and ever. AMEN.
