Lord Jesus, you proclaim the peace of God’s kingdom. Lord, have mercy.
Christ Jesus, you call us to holiness: Christ, have mercy.
Lord Jesus, you will come in glory: Lord, have mercy.
Priest: As we near the end of our Advent journey, let us offer our prayers to God in confidence and hope.
1. That we in our nation and in all the countries of the world may reach out to those who are struggling and suffering.
2. We pray for all missionaries and those who bring the faith to others. May all of us be missionary in spirit, proclaiming the message of Christ's birth to the world.
3. For all the places in the world experiencing war, terrorism, or violence. May we all work toward peace, healing, and reconciliation.
4. For those who are suffering from depression, anxiety, or mental health issues this holiday season, that they receive the help they need and feel love and support from God and the community of the faithful.
5. For the sick and the shut-in. For the repose of the souls of the faithful departed.
6. For the prayers we hold in our hearts today.
Priest: Loving God, we ask that you hear our prayers and help us in our needs as we prepare to celebrate the birth of our Savior. We make these prayers through your son Jesus Christ our Lord forever and ever. Amen.
