Lord Jesus - you bless the poor in Spirit - Lord have mercy.
Christ Jesus - you comfort those who mourn and cry out to you - Christ have mercy.
Lord Jesus - you call us to hunger for justice - Lord have mercy.
As we unite our prayers with the prayers of the community of saints, we present our prayers to God.
1. For the Holy Catholic Church, for Francis our pope, Joseph our bishop, and for all of our church leaders, for wisdom and clarity of mission, we pray to the Lord:
2. For the leaders of the world, that they would promote justice, holiness, and life, and work together for the good of all, we pray to the Lord:
3. For our church community, that we would model our lives after the holy men and women of God, becoming more like Christ in all ways, we pray to the Lord:
4. In thanksgiving for the saints of God, for the love and mercy they have shown to the world, we pray to the Lord:
5. For those who are sick or suffering in any way, may they be comforted with the love of Christ. For healing for all of us in mind, body and spirit. We pray to the Lord:
6. For all those who have died, that the light of Christ would shine upon them, we pray to the Lord:
7. For our own needs and intentions, that we now recall in our hearts [6 second pause], we pray to the Lord:
As we honor the saints today, we make these prayers thru your son Jesus Christ, our Lord for ever and ever. AMEN.
