Penitential Rite:
Lord Jesus - you hear the cry of the poor and the lonely -
Christ Jesus - you are compassionate and just
Lord Jesus - you call us to holiness.
Prayers of the Faithful:
Priest: As we open our hearts to God’s will for us in our lives, let us now present our prayers:
1. We pray for our Church and our Church leaders – that they will help us live out the Law of God in our lives so that they draw others to Christ.
2. We pray for all political leaders – that they may enact policies that benefits all in their countries both the wealthy and those in need.
3. That we may reach out to the poor, the marginalized, the oppressed, and those who are searching for meaning in their lives.
4. For those who have been affected by the rain and the flooding here in Pearl and for those recovering for the floods and the hurricane in North and South Carolina.
5. For the sick and the shut-in - for those who need healing in their lives.
6. For those who have died – that those who sought to live righteously in this life, may now live in eternal life with God.
Priest: Merciful God, we seek your way. The way of mercy, steadfast love and service to our neighbor in need. We do so simply and sincerely through Christ our Lord for ever and ever. AMEN.
