Lord Jesus - you are a light to the nations.
Christ Jesus - you are our hope.
Lord Jesus - you are the Son of God.
Prayers of the faithful:
As we journey through the last days of the Christmas season, let us bring our prayers to our loving and merciful God.
For the Church: that, through our words and deeds, we may be a light to those who are searching for direction and a sign of hope for those seeking to begin again.
For a deeper awareness of the signs along our spiritual journey: that we learn from the people and experiences in our lives how to recognize God’s presence and invitations.
For God’s blessing on the New Year: that God will fill the coming days with health of body, mind, and spirit; that God will renew the gifts of the Spirit within us, and inspire us with new ways to share the Good News with others.
For greater trust: that, like three Magi we celebrated this week, God’s Light may guide us through the unknown of the coming days as we rely more deeply on God’s love and care for us.
For a great utilization of our gifts and talents: that we may offer all our gifts to God and use them in the service of God’s reign.
For the prayers we hold in our hearts today.
Heavenly Father, as we celebrate the Sacred Heart of Jesus on the First Friday today, we present our prayers through your Son Jesus Christ, our Lord forever and ever. AMEN.
