Lord Jesus - You call us to a life of discipleship.
Christ Jesus - You as the son of the living God.
Lord Jesus - You call us to be missionary in spirit.
Priest: In company with St Paul and all the community of saints, let us confidently turn to our merciful Father with our prayers:
1. For Francis our Pope, Jospeh Kopacz our bishop, and all Church leaders, that they will strengthen us in the apostolic faith.
2. For the leaders of all the nations, that they will strive to protect the Church from persecution and harassment.
3. For all who are suffering for who they are or for what they believe, that they will find strength in the Lord, who is at their side.
4. For all who are sick or housebound and for those
who have died recently, that they will know Christ's saving love.
5. For our Christian community, that apostles, prophets, and teachers will build us up as the Body of Christ.
6. For all who are in distress, that they may place their trust in God who rescues the poor and shelters all who seek refuge.
Priest: God of saints and sinners, by the power of the Holy Spirit, St Paul bore courageous witness to the death and resurrection of your Son. Hear our prayer for your blessings, that we may be more faithful witnesses to the truth of the Gospel, the Good News of Jesus Christ, both now and for ever. Amen.
