Lord Jesus - you are the son of God and the son of Mary.
Christ Jesus - you bring salvation to the world.
Lord Jesus - you show us the way to the Father.
Priest: As the family of the Catholic community of St Michael the Archangel here at CMCF, we join our Catholic family of faith throughout the world in our celebration of the holy family of Jesus, Mary, and Jospeh, presenting our prayers to the God for the needs of all:
1. We pray that our governmental leaders and Church leaders will help support our families in the decisions they make. We pray to the Lord.
2. That in our Church and in our local Catholic communities, we be supportive of one another and welcoming to all. We pray to the Lord.
3. That in our families, parents and their children may live together in mutual respect and love, forgiving each other’s weaknesses and supporting the growth of each other’s gifts. We pray to the Lord.
4. We pray for those who are separated from their families, especially all the men and women who are incarcerated and all missionaries and members of the military who are serving away from their families. May we remember to include them in our prayers and in our love. We pray to the Lord.
5. We earnestly pray for all those who are sick and afflicted. That the love of God bring healing and wholeness into their lives. We pray to the Lord.
6. For our loved ones and family members who have died and who have entered eternal life. May they rest in peace. We pray to the Lord.
7. For the prayers we hold in the silence of our hearts. For those who have asked for our prayers. We pray to the Lord.
Priest: Loving God, you provided a loving family for your son. Help us to trust in you as we grow in love and mercy for all of our families. We present our prayers through your son Jesus Christ, our Lord forever and ever. AMEN.
