Lord Jesus - you bring us God’s love and mercy - Lord have mercy.
Christ Jesus - you are the beloved son of our heavenly Father - Christ have mercy.
Lord Jesus - you call us to be born again in our faith - Lord have mercy.
Priest: We now bring our prayers to our loving and merciful God:
1. We pray for Pope Francis, Bishop Joseph Kopacz and the communion of Bishops, and all our clergy and lay leaders, that they may help us all be ambassadors for Christ.
2. We pray that all Christians may embrace the corporal and spiritual works of mercy as a part of our baptismal call.
3. We pray that all people of good will may work for justice and the good of all peoples.
4. We pray for all the sick. For our medical professionals, first responders, and men and women in the military.
5. We pray for all those enslaved by their past sins or decisions. That the wounds of Christ may encourage them to seek his love for them.
6. We pray for all those who have died. That the Lord in his mercy welcome them into his dwelling place in the eternal kingdom.
7. For the prayers we hold in our hearts today.
Priest: Heavenly Father, out of our lives of discipleship, we humbly present these prayers to you through your Son Jesus Christ, our Lord forever and ever. AMEN.
