Prayers of the faithful - Feast of St Mary Magdalene - 22 July 2020

Lord Jesus - you call us to a life of discipleship.
Christ Jesus - you proclaim the kingdom of God.
Lord Jesus - you bring us the Father’s love.

Priest: As we honor St Mary Magdalene today, we approach God in trust and confidence in our prayers:
1. We pray that like St Mary Magdalene, we may have a boldness and vibrant faith born out of love, that we live out our faith in perseverance and joy.
2. For our spiritual leaders and our governmental leaders, that the have the wisdom and courage to lead their people during these challenging time. 
3.  We pray in thanksgiving and gratitude for our many blessings we have in our lives, that we may recognize those blessings and use our blessings and gifts to reach out and help others.
4. For those who may be struggling in their faith, for those who are battling additions or struggling with different types of illnesses of mind, body, or spirit, for healing and wholeness. 
5. For our medical professionals, our first responders, and the men and women in the military. 
6. For the repose of the souls of the faithful departed, for their entry into eternal life.
7. For those prayers we hold in our hearts.
Priest:  With humble hearts, we make these prayers through your Son Jesus Christ, our Lord forever and ever.  AMEN.
