Lord Jesus - you call us to be missionary in spirit.
Christ Jesus - you proclaim the Gospel message to the ends of the earth.
Lord Jesus - you are our savior and our redeemer.
As we commemorate the first day of the month of July today, we present our prayers to our heavenly Father with faith and hope:
1. For our Church leaders and government leaders, may they lead their people in wisdom and peace.
2. That all you call to preach and teach your word may be filled with courage and zeal just like Father Junipero Serra.
3. That those who are laboring through physical illness may be sustained in patience and hope.
4. That all who are struggling to forgive others who have harmed them may feel the love and humility of their faith.
5. That the Church in the United States and in the Diocese of Jackson be inspired by the witness of Father Junipero Serra in our new evangelization and in our Eucharistic renewal.
6. That the faithful departed may enter eternal life with their Lord and savior.
7. That the Lord will continue to bless the Carmelite sisters here in the Diocese of Jackson and our secular Carmelite group.
8. For the prayers we hold in the silence of our hearts.
With hope and love, we present these prayers through your son Jesus Christ, our Lord forever and ever. AMEN.
