Lord Jesus, you the Prince of Peace: Lord, have mercy.
Lord Jesus, you are the Son of God and Son of Mary: Christ, have mercy.
Lord Jesus, you are Word of God made flesh: Lord, have mercy.
Prayers of the faithful:
PRIEST: God graciously blesses us with his love and mercy. As we celebrate the queenship of Mary today, we bring forward our needs to God with confidence:
1. That those who follow Christ may remain faithful throughout the challenges and struggles of their lives.
2. That God may grant wisdom to our governmental leaders in the difficult and challenging decisions they have to make.
3. For peace in our communities that are torn apart by violence, terrorism, anger, or conflict.
4. That we may all be peacemakers who work for reconciliation, peace, and justice in our relationships.
5. That our Mother Mary, the Queen of Heaven and Earth, may be an example to all of us in her patience, compassion, and love.
6. For all who have been affected by storms and hot summer weather.
7. We pray for the sick and the shut-in. We pray that perpetual light may shine on all our dearly departed.
8. For those prayers we hold in our hearts.
PRIEST: Gracious God, you bless your people in many ways. We ask that you accept our prayers and give us your help, through your son Jesus Christ, our Lord forever and ever. Amen.
