Lord Jesus - you came to bring the Good News to all - Lord have mercy.
Christ Jesus - you came to set the captives free - Christ have mercy.
Lord Jesus - you are the Savior of the world - Lord have mercy.
Prayers of the Faithful:
Priest: We unite our prayers today with St Ignatius of Antioch and with all the community of saints:
1. On this feast of Ignatius of Antioch, we pray for for all of our Church leaders, especially Bishop Joseph Kopacz and Pope Francis, for wisdom and courage as they lead and guide our Church.
2. For a missionary spirit for all of us, that we may see ourselves as missionaries who bring the message of the Gospel to our corner of the world.
3. That our governmental leaders have a vision of leading us forward with a healthy sense of community and unity.
4. That we may all practice peace and justice and a respect for life and God’s creation in our words and our actions.
5. That we may all look into our hearts and see the potential and vocation God has for us.
6. For a spirit of healing for the sick and shut-in of our parish, for their care givers and families.
7. For the prayers we hold in the silence of our hearts.
Priest: With humble hearts, we present these prayer thru your Son Jesus Christ, our Lord forever and ever. Amen.
