Prayers of the faithful - 19 December 2024 - Thursday of third week of Advent

Lord Jesus - you call us to God’s justice.


Christ Jesus - you are the beloved son of the Father.

Lord Jesus - you bring us hope. 

Priest: As we journey through this third week of the Advent season, we bring our prayers to our heavenly Father in faith and trust: 

1. We pray that all followers of Jesus might welcome one another as brothers and sisters, as we prepare to celebrate the Lord’s coming as our Prince of Peace.


2. That all of God’s children throughout the world may work toward peace. 

3. We pray for all who have lost hope, that they might find hearts and hands reaching out to them with love and encouragement in their struggles.
4. We pray for our first responders, the men and women in the military,  our veterans, and our medical professionals. 

5. We pray for our parish community, that we will grow together in faith and hope as we get ready to celebrate the birth of our savior.


6. For our children and youth, the the Lord will lead them and guide them on their journey of faith this Advent season. 

7. For healing for the sick and for the repose of the souls of the faithful departed.
8. For the prayers we hold in the silence of our hearts. 

Priest: With hearts full of Advent joy, we present these prayers through your son Jesus Christ, our Lord forever and ever. AMEN.
