Prayers of the faithful - Tuesday of the 5th week of Lent - 23 March 2021

Lord Jesus - you call us to give thanks. 

Christ Jesus - you call us to a life of service. 

Lord Jesus - you call us to holiness. 

Priest: Let us bring our prayers to God, the source of mercy and compassion.

1. For all who are preparing to celebrate the Easter sacraments - may they feel our prayers accompanying them during this time of preparation. 

2. For obedience to the will of God among the followers of Christ, even when God will challenges us and is difficult to follow.  

3. For Christian unity and collaboration.  

4. For those who hunger and thirst in a physical sense, and for those who hunger and thirst for justice and righteousness.  

5. For the people in need in the Diocese of Jackson, particularly our sick, those looking for work, those feeling lost in life, and those battling addictions.  

6. For all who have gone before us in faith, for their entry into eternal life.  

7. For the prayers we hold in our hearts today.  

Priest: God of mercy and compassion, you give new heart to your people: Hear the prayers we make in faith, through Jesus Christ our Lord forever and ever. Amen.
