prayers of the faithful - 15 March 2023 - third week of LENT

Lord Jesus - you are humble of heart - Lord have mercy. 

Christ Jesus - you call us to be missionary in spirit - Christ have mercy. 

Lord Jesus - you are the Son of the Father - Lord have mercy. 

As we continue our Lenten journey today, let us bring our prayers to our merciful God: 

1. That, by prayer, fasting and works of charity, the holy people of God will accompany Jesus on his journey during these holy days of Lent.  

2. That all Christians and all people of goodwill may listen to the Word of God and obey his commandments in daily life. 

3. That we will find time each day for God, seek him in the silence of our hearts, and learn to love him more and more. 

4. That God will lead us to the path of justice and peace.  We pray for those who are being harmed in the world by war, terrorism, and violence.  

5. That our religious and governmental leaders will work together, especially keeping in mind the marginalized and the vulnerable.  

6. For the sick and shut-ins, for those who need healing mind, body, and spirit.  

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

God of mercy, keep us in your love.  We ask these prayers through your son Jesus Christ, our Lord forever and ever.  AMEN.
