Lord Jesus - you call us to holiness
Christ Jesus - you call us to follow the will of the Father
Lord Jesus - you intercede for us at the right hand of the Father
Priest: As we are called to be attentive to the voice of God in our daily lives, we bring our petitions for the Church, the world and our community to you to our loving God.
1. On the feast day of St John Vianney, we pray for all priests who are ordained to serve our Church, that their ministry may be fruitful and appreciated by the people whom they serve
2. For the gift to our parish and diocese of vocations to the ordained priesthood, that good men may be drawn to love and to serve the People of God. We pray for Andrew Bowden and all the seminarians in the Diocese of Jackson.
3. That God’s Word will touch our hearts and open before us the beauty and value that God unfolds each day for us.
4. For the divisions and frustrations and plague our society, for the anger in human hearts that refuses to heal, that we be open to healing and reconciliation, that we show compassion to our fellow.
5. For wisdom for our governmental leaders, for wisdom for our parents, school principals, and teachers as we look to a new school year, for God to lead us to do what is right.
6. For the sick and shut-in, for the repose of the souls of the faithful departed, for those prayers we hold in our hearts today.
Priest: Help us, Lord, to listen to the stirrings of our hearts. We present our prayers through your Son, our Lord for ever and ever.
