Lord Jesus - you call us to be people of prayer.
Christ Jesus - you proclaim the justice of God’s kingdom.
Lord Jesus - you bring us hope.
Priest: We now present our prayers to our heavenly Father:
1. For our Church leaders and governmental leaders, that they may exercise wisdom and prudence in their leadership.
2. For our first responders, for the men and women in the military, for our military veterans, and for our medical professionals.
3. For those who hunger for food, for those who hunger for meaning in life, for those who hunger for justice and righteousness, that their hunger may be fulfilled.
4. For all who live amidst civil unrest, conflict, war or violence, that God will break these destructive cycles, healing the divisions that exist within the community and protecting the innocent.
5. That God will renew and strengthen all who work to advance the good of society, protect them from harm, and help them to use their gifts and talents fully.
6. For respect life month in the month of October, that we may grow in our respect for human life from the moment of conception to the moment of natural death.
7. For the prayers we hold in the silence of our hearts.
Priest: We present our prayers through your son Jesus Christ, our Lord forever and ever. AMEN.
