Lord Jesus - you call us to live out our faith with courage.
Christ Jesus - you call us to serve our brothers and sister with justice.
Lord Jesus - you are the holy one of Israel.
As we rejoice in the Advent days of preparation, let us present our prayers to God.
1. For the Church, may she call all the people of world to rejoice as we prepare for the coming of the savior.
2. For the leaders of the nations, may God give them hearts of service and humility in the way they govern.
3. For our children and youth, may the Lord accompany them in their exams at the end of the semester and accompany them in their days of vacation over the Christmas holidays.
4. For those suffering from mental illness and depression, for those battling addictions, for the sick and shut-in, may the Lord provide them healing and wholeness.
5. For our Carmelite sisters here in the Diocese of Jackson and for Carmelite communities throughout the world.
6. For the prayers we hold in our hearts this morning.
We present these prayers through your son Jesus Christ, our Lord forever and ever. AMEN.
