Lord Jesus - you are the word of God.
Christ Jesus - you are the only begotten son.
Lord Jesus - you bring us God’s love.
Priest: We pray in communion with the Church in today’s mass, presenting our prayer to our heavenly Father.
1. We pray that families, through their life of prayer and love, become ever more clearly “schools of true human growth.”
2 We pray for a greater sense of the common good: that we may recognize that God’s gifts are for the benefit of the whole human family and never allow them to become idols that control us.
3. We pray for wisdom and inspiration for government leaders: that the Holy Spirit will give them insight into the true issues and the needed steps for change to promote the welfare of everyone. We pray for our upcoming national elections next week.
4. We pray for the unemployed, those under financial burdens, for those mired in poverty: that God will sustain them each day, open new opportunities for them to use their gifts, and open our hearts to be generous in their time of need.
5. For the sick and shut ins.
6. For the repose of the souls of the faithful departed. For Audrey Phillips whose funeral mass was held today.
Priest: Heavenly Father, we thank you for the way you accompany us on our journey. We present these prayers through your son Jesus Christ, our Lord forever and ever. AMEN.
