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 with faith and hope on this weekday of ordinary time:
1. For our Church leaders and our governmental leaders. May they 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, May God break down 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.
6. For respect life month in the month of October. May we grow in our respect for human life from the moment of conception to the moment of natural death.
7. For the faithful departed. For their entry into eternal life. For the souls in purgatory.
8. For the prayers we hold in the silence of our hearts.
Priest: God, of love and compassion, strength us on our journey of faith. We present our prayers through your son Jesus Christ, our Lord forever and ever. AMEN.
