Lord Jesus - you bring us peace - Lord have mercy.
Christ Jesus - you proclaim the justice of God’s kingdom - Christ have mercy.
Lord Jesus - you lead us to healing and reconciliation - Lord have mercy.
PRIEST: With humble and sincere hearts, we present our prayers for our first responders, for our needs, the needs of the Church, and the needs of the world.
1. For our Church leaders and for our governmental leaders, may they lead us in our local and national communities in healing and reconciliation.
2. For an end to the violence perpetrated by harsh words, deadly weapons, or cold indifference. May our homes, our nation, and countries around the world become havens of peace.
3. For the grace to see every human being as a child of God, regardless of race, language or culture.
4. For the grace to teach our children and youth how to resolve differences non-violently and respectfully, and the courage to model it in our own behavior.
5. For our first responders and the men and women who serve in the police department, for the men and women in the military, for their safety, and in thanks for their service to the community.
6. For our parish, that we may cultivate welcome, extend hospitality, and encourage the participation of people of all cultures, ethnicities and backgrounds, let us pray to the Lord.
7. For the sick and shut-ins, for healing for us body, mind, and spirit.
PRIEST: Heavenly Father, as we celebrate and honor the Archangels on their feast day today, we present our prayers to you through your son Jesus Christ, our Lord forever and ever. AMEN.
