Lord Jesus - you call us to faith.
Christ Jesus - you call us to hope.
Lord Jesus - you are seated at the right hand of the Father where you intercede for us.
With faith and hope, let us present our prayers to our heavenly Father:
1. For our governmental leaders: that God will give them wisdom in addressing the issues that challenge society, free them from self-reliance, and inspire them to work for the common good.
2. For an end to violence and the exploitation of the poor: that God will raise up those who are exploited in work places or who are caught in human trafficking and heal their wounds, and lead them to a new life.
3. For all who are grieving: that those who have lost loved ones, their health, or their employment, may know the presence of God who wipes away all tears and who brings light into every darkness.
4. For our children and youth, may they feel God’s presence leading them and guiding them through life, and may the Lord accompany them through their studies and school activities this academic year.
5. For the synod on synodality in our Diocese, in our nation, and throughout the world, that the Spirit will renew the Church as we listen to one another and strive to bring forth God’s reign in our communities.
6. For the prayers we hold in the silence of our hearts.
God of love and mercy, we present our prayers through your son Jesus Christ, our Lord forever and ever. AMEN.
