prayers of the faithful - Friday of the fourth week of Lent - 24 March 2023

 Lord Jesus - you are the Word of God. 

Christ Jesus - you are our Savior. 

Lord Jesus - you are the beloved Son of the Father. 

Priest: As we place our hope and trust in God’s mercy and love, we pray for our needs and the needs of our brothers and sisters: 

1. For the members of the Church, that we may reach out to share Christ’s Good News with others. 

2. For the leaders of the nations, that they be attentive to the needs of the people they represent, we pray to the Lord. 

3. That we may pray for  Christian unity.  May all Christians find common ground to work together and to help bring God’s kingdom to fruition. 

4. For a reverence for human life from the moment of conception to the moment of natural death, especially for the unborn and the vulnerable. 

5. For our parish community, that we may bear witness to God’s grace through our prayers and our ministries. 

6. For the repose of the souls of the faithful departed, for their entry into eternal life. 

7. For the prayers we hold in the silence of our hearts, for all our intentions spoken and unspoken. 

Priest: Merciful God, as we turn to you in our needs, we humbly ask you to grant them according to your will, through Jesus Christ, our Lord forever and ever. AMEN.
