Lord Jesus - you have a special love for the poor.
Christ Jesus - you bring us justice.
Lord Jesus - you proclaim the glory of God.
As we celebrate the feast day of St Vincent de Paul today, let us remember God’s call to hope and justice as we present our prayers to God:
1. That our government officials lead us in the practice justice and reconciliation in our communities and in our nation.
2. That our Church leaders help in reaching out to the poor and the vulnerable.
3. That the sick and shut in experience healing in body, mind and spirit.
4. That the faithful departed receive God’s love and mercy as they enter eternal life. We pray especially for the souls in purgatory.
5. That those who have lost hope and those who are struggling with addictions and mental illness find new life in our risen Lord.
6. For a great love and appreciation for the real presence of Christ in the Eucharist.
7. For the prayers we hold in our hearts this evening.
With hope and joy, we present these prayers through your Son Jesus Christ, our Lord forever and ever. AMEN.
