Prayers of the faithful - Solemnity of the Sacred Heart of Jesus - 24 June 2022

Lord Jesus - you love us with your Sacred Heart. 

Christ Jesus - you bring us the love and compassion of the Father. 

Lord Jesus - you call us to justice.  

As we celebrate the Sacred Heart of Jesus today, we are confident that Christ intercedes for us at the right hand of the Father. With faith in his love we make our prayers in his name:

1. For the whole Church, that all who believe in the Risen Christ and his Sacred heart may follow him faithfully. 

2. For our Diocese and for our parish community, that we may see the Lord in the signs he has left us, giving us new life in  our baptism and nourishing us in the Eucharist. 

3. For all who are in need, that those with plenty may act with compassion so as to serve their brothers and sisters in Christ with justice.

4. For all who are sick or suffering and for those close to death, that Jesus, the risen Saviour, may give them grace and strength. 

5. For the faithful departed, for their entry into eternal life.  And for the souls in the process of purification in purgatory.  ‘

6. For the prayers we hold in the silence of our hearts. 

God our Father, increase in our minds and hearts the new life we share with Christ, helping us to grow as your people in love and compassion. We ask this through Christ our Lord forever and ever.  AMEN.
