Lord Jesus - you are a light for the nations.
Christ Jesus - you are our savior and our redeemer.
Lord Jesus - you bring us hope and truth.
Prayers of the faithful:
As we journey during the holy octave of Christmas today, we bring our prayers to our loving Father.
1. For our Bishops and Church leaders, may they lead us to the truth of the Gospel message and help us to evangelize the world. May continue to pray for Bishop Kopacz who is visiting his family in Pennsylvania.
2. For all parents and families, may they help their children grow in wisdom and in the values of the faith.
3. For those traveling during the Christmas holidays, for safety for them. And for families and friends gathering during the holidays, may they stay safe during the pandemic.
4. For the sick and sick-in, for those needing healing in their lives body, mind, and spirit. For those struggling with mental health and addictions.
5. For the men in the women in the military, for first responders, for medical professionals, for all who are working and who are away from their families during the holidays.
6. For the prayers we hold in our hearts this morning.
In Christmas hope and joy, we present these prayers through your son Jesus Christ, our Lord forever and ever. AMEN.
