Lord Jesus - you are a light that shines in our world.
Christ Jesus - you are the prince of peace.
Lord Jesus - you are our redeemer.
As we are called to trust in the light that illuminates our path toward the Father, we bring God our prayers today:
1. For Pope Francis, our Church leaders, and all believers, that they carry the light of faith to all in darkness.
2. For the leaders of nations and all our governmental officials, that they respect religious freedom.
3. For those who suffer religious persecution, that they be allowed to freely practice their faith.
4. For those who struggle with addictions and mental illness, that they find a home in our faith.
5. For our children, youth, and teachers as they return back to school this week and next week.
6. For the sick and the shut-in, for those in the hospital, hospice, and nursing home.
7. For the prayers we hold in the silence of our hearts.
Heavenly Father, you light the earth and fill it with blessings. Make your people a beacon of hope for all in darkness. We ask this in the name of Jesus Christ our Lord forever and ever. Amen.
