Penitential Rite:
Lord Jesus - you are the Son of David - Lord have mercy.
Christ Jesus - you are of the tree of Jesse - Christ have mercy.
Lord Jesus - you are the seat of justice - Lord have mercy.
Priest: As we near the end of the holy season of Advent, let us bring our prayers to the Lord, the King of Glory.
1. That all of our Church leaders lead us with courage and justice.
2, That Christians may prepare their hearts to meet Christ in the holy season of Christmas.
3. That the world may not forget the suffering of those who live in the midst of war, terrorism, violence, or uncertainty.
4, That we may always bring peace and healing in our homes and in our families.
5. That in the darkness of winter, the light of Christ may give hope to people who are battling depression, mental illness, and addictions.
6. That bereaved and lonely people may have our support, at Christmas time.
7. For those who have gone before us in faith, that they may share in Christ’s resurrection from the dead. We pray especially for Father Eddie Balser.
Priest: O God, yours is the earth and its fullness. Bless your people by hearing the prayers we make today, through your Son Jesus Christ, our Lord forever and ever. Amen.
