Lord Jesus - you draw us to faith - Lord have mercy.
Christ Jesus - you bring us the Father’s love - Christ have mercy.
Lord Jesus - you lead us to hope - Lord have mercy.
PRIEST: With confidence and trust in God’s mercy we turn to our loving Father with our prayers for all in need:
1. For Francis our Pope, Joseph our Bishop and all our church leaders, that they may continue to be witnesses to the love of Christ for all people.
2. For all who are struggling with faith, or are persecuted for their faith, that God’s grace will strengthen them and give them renewed hope.
3. For those who suffer bullying or intimidation, that Christ, who was belittled by his own people, may grant them resilience of mind and peace of heart.
4. For our own parish community, that we may challenge the cynical and the skeptical and give prophetic witnesses to our world.
5. For the neglected, the housebound, the sick and those who are terminally ill, that they will know the Lord’s comfort and support.
6. For all who have died, that Christ may welcome them into his kingdom.
7. For the prayers we hold in our hearts today.
PRIEST: Gracious God, we ask you to continue to watch over the lives of your people. Hear our prayers and grant that we may draw closer to you each day. We ask this through Christ our Lord forever and ever.
