Lord Jesus - you encourage us on our journey of faith.
Christ Jesus - you give us the gift of the Holy Spirit.
Lord Jesus - you increase our faith and hope.
Priest: With faith and hope, we present our prayers to our heavenly Father:
1. That God will pour out the Spirit on the Church in a new and abundant way to renew all believers and strengthen us to further the mission of Jesus.
2. That God will heal the divisions between women and men, poor and rich, and every race, so that we may work together for the good of every person and the fulfillment of God’s plan
3. That all Christians may manifest love, joy, peace, and all the fruits of the Spirit in our lives
4. That the Spirit of God will lead us into a greater understanding of who we are and of what God is asking of us.
5. For all gathered here at Mass, that we may fully use the gifts of the Spirit to encourage one another on our journeys of faith and build up the Body of Christ.
6. On the feast of St Rita, we recognize those seemingly impossible prayers that reside in our hearts.
Priest: As we return to Ordinary Time this week, we present our prayers thru your Son Jesus Christ, our Lord forever and ever. AMEN.
