Lord Jesus - You hear the cry of the poor.
Christ Jesus - You do the will of the Father.
Lord Jesus - You are our savior and redeemer.
The Lord listen to the prayers we make out of the simplicity of our hearts. Let us now present our prayers to our heavenly Father:
1. For civic dialogue: that our political leaders may listen to opposing views, respect the dignity of those with different ideas, and strive to find a path that will promote the welfare of all.
2. For the stewardship of God’s creation: that being aware that all creation came through Christ, we may work to honor and protect it as a sign of God’s love for all people.
3. For those who keep us safe in society: for first responders, for the men and women in the military, and for our medical professionals.
4. For peace: that we may turn to Christ, whose death and resurrection offers the only peace that endures, to bring an end to violence and bloodshed and give us a new vision for cooperation and justice.
5. For our children, youth, and families, for their summer activities, for safe travels for all who are traveling this summer. That we all may see God’s presence in our summer activities.
6. For the prayers we hold in our hearts.
As we give thanks to you, O heavenly Father, we present our prayers through your son Jesus Christ, our Lord forever and ever. AMEN.
