Lord Jesus - you hear the cry of the poor and the lonely
Christ Jesus - you are compassionate and just
Lord Jesus - you call us to holiness.
Prayers of the Faithful:
Priest: As we open our hearts to God’s will for us in our lives, let us now present our prayers:
1. We pray for our Church and our Church leaders – that our Church leaders will help us live out the Law of God in our lives as to draw others to Christ.
2. We pray for all political leaders – that they may enact policies that benefits all in their countries - both the wealthy and those in need.
3. That we may reach out to the poor, the marginalized, the oppressed, and those who are searching for meaning in their lives.
4. For those who have been adversely affected by natural disasters, especially those affected by the hurricanes on the Gulf coast and on the East Coast, and for those affected by wildfires out West.
5. For the sick and the shut-in - for those who need healing in their lives - for those in the hospitals, hospice, and nursing homes.
6. For those who have died – that those who sought to live righteously in this life, may now enter enteral life with God.
7. For the prayers we offer up in our hearts today.
Priest: Merciful God, we seek your way. The way of mercy, steadfast love and service to our neighbor in need. We do so simply and sincerely through Christ our Lord for ever and ever. AMEN.
Thank you
