Introduction to the Mass
The Lord Jesus is our hope for reconciliation and forgiveness. In praise of his holy name, we acknowledge God’s mercy and tender compassion.
Penitential Rite:
Lord Jesus, you came to this world and preached the Good News of salvation: Lord, have mercy.
Christ Jesus, you destroyed death and restored life to your people: Christ, have mercy.
Lord Jesus, you are the Good Shepherd, moved with pity for your people: Lord, have mercy.
May almighty God have mercy on us, forgive us our sins, and bring us to life everlasting. Amen
Introduction to the Creed:
As the Catholic Community, let us stand and profess our faith.
General Intercessions
Priest: Our Good Shepherd sees and understands our needs. Let us pray in His name for all who are in need.
1. For the Church and her leaders, may she alway preach the Gospel of Jesus Christ with integrity and hope.
2. For our governmental leaders, may they work toward justice, healing, and reconciliation in our world.
3. For our missionaries, our peace makers, and our first responders. May they feel our gratitude and prayers for their service.
4. That all of us may proclaim the Gospel of life in our words and our actions, respecting human life from the moment of conception to the moment of natural death.
5. For healing for all who are sick in mind, body, and spirit. For patience and understanding for their family members and care givers.
6. For the response of the souls of the faithful departed.
Priest: O God of gracious care, you grant rest to the weary and fill the needs of those who come to you. Hear these our prayers and grant that one day we may rest eternally with you, through Jesus Christ our Lord.
