Lord Jesus - you call us to faith.
Christ Jesus - you call us to do your Father’s will.
Lord Jesus - you call us to be servants as you were a servant.
Prayers of the faithful: With faith and love, we bring our prayers to the Father of Mercy:
1. For renewal in the Church. That Christ will stir up the gift of the Spirit within us, making us bold in our faith and dynamic witnesses to your love.
2. For our engagement in the reality of our world, that we would be strengthened to bear daily challenges and to confront our struggles with faith. May you help us, O Lord, to find ways to heal discrimination, injustice, poverty and violence.
3. That all the baptized and confirmed be inspired to be faithful to their promises, filling us with zeal and courage.
4. For healing for all who are blind to your love. May those alienated from the Church know and feel that they are welcome. Open our hearts to all who are seeking.
5. That you would shepherd our beloved sick and grieving. Console the homebound, those alone, afraid and imprisoned. Comfort the dying; release the addicted and the abused. Bring us peace of mind and safety during this time of pandemic.
6. For the prayers we hold in the silence of our hearts.
We make our prayers through your son Jesus Christ our Lord forever and ever. AMEN.
