Lord Jesus - you call us to be your disciples - Lord have mercy.
Christ Jesus - you called your apostles to break out of their limitation and fears - Christ have mercy.
Lord Jesus - you call us to proclaim your Good News - Lord have mercy.
Prayers of the faithful:
Encouraged by our fellowship with all the saints, let us make our prayers to the Father through our Lord Jesus Christ.
1. Father, as your Son called men and women to leave the past behind them and to follow him as disciples, we pray that you bless those whom Jesus calls as his disciples today.
2. As your Son told his disciples not to be afraid, we pray that you bless with courage and tenacity the ministers, missionaries and church leaders who bring your Gospel message to the world today.
3. As your Son sent out disciples to heal the sick, we pray that all of us may reach out to the sick and shut-ins and those in need of healing and reconciliation.
4. For those who keep us safe in society - our first responders, the men and women in the military, and our medical professionals.
5. We pray for the repose of the souls of the faithful departed, especially for those souls in the process of purification in purgatory.
Almighty God, grant that your Church may faithfully hold and make known the faith that has come to us through the apostles. We make these prayers thru Jesus Christ, our Lord forever and ever.
