Penitential Rite:
Lord Jesus - you came to bring the Good News to all - Lord have mercy.
Christ Jesus - you came to set the captives free - Christ have mercy.
Lord Jesus - you are the Savior of the world - Lord have mercy.
Prayers of the Faithful:
Priest: We unite our prayers today with St Ignatius of Loyola and with all the community of saints.
1. On this feast of Ignatius of Loyola, we pray for Pope Francis, a member of the Jesuits, for wisdom and courage as he leads and guides our Church. And we pray for all members of the Jesuits - the Society of Jesus - for their educational institutions and their ministries.
2. For a spirit of mission - may all of us be missionaries who bring the message of the Gospel to our little corner of the world.
3. For a spirit of vision - for our communities and our nation - may our governmental leaders have a vision of leading us forward, in all are seen as integral parts of the community.
4. For a spirit of action - may we all practice peace and justice and a respect for life and God’s creation in our words and our actions.
5. For a spirit of truth - may we all look into our hearts and see the potential and vocation God has for us.
6. For a spirit of healing - for the sick and shut-in of our parish, for their care-givers and families.
Priest: With humble hearts, we present these prayer thru your Son Jesus Christ, our Lord forever and ever. Amen.
