Lord Jesus, you proclaim justice.
Christ Jesus, you call us to be good stewards of our gifts and treasures.
Lord Jesus, you call us to faith.
With humble hearts, let us present our prayers to our heavenly Father:
1. For all leaders of government on the national, regional, and local levels: that God will inspire them with new ways to promote the welfare of citizens and the common good.
2. For all who are in need; for the poor, the homeless, the widow, the orphan and those on the margins of society: that God will open our eyes and hearts to their needs and their presence in our communities.
4. For the homebound: that they may experience God with them and support from our Christian community
5. For all who are recovering from natural disasters: that God will give them courage and guide them to the assistance which they need.
6. For all who are bound by addictions of different kinds, especially to drugs and alcohol: that God will break the bonds that hold them, help them to seek assistance and guide them to people who will support and challenge them to live in a new way.
7. For all seminarians on the feast day of St Charles Borromeo, especially those seminarians studying for the Diocese of Jackson.
8. For the sick and shut-in and the repose of the souls of the faithful departed.
9. For the prayers we hold in our hearts today.
Our we unite our prayers with St Charles Borromeo, we prayers these prayers through your son Jesus Christ, our Lord forever and ever. AMEN.
