Lord Jesus - you call us to stand firm in our faith.
Christ Jesus - you proclaim the kingdom of God.
Lord Jesus - you are the living word of God.
Priest: In a spirit of trust and hope, we present our prayers to our heavenly Father:
1. For a spirit of gratitude: that we may recognize all our gifts, possessions, and opportunities as gifts from God, that we may place each of them in the service of God.
2. For all who are suffering or being persecuted for their faith: that God will comfort and strengthen them and bring them safely through their trial.
3. For the Gospel of life, that we may respect all human life from the moment of conception to the moment of natural death.
4. For greater respect for each person: that God will turn the hearts of all who rely upon violence and bring healing to all who have suffered harm, abuse or neglect
5. For healing for the sick and the afflicted in body, mind and spirit.
6. For the prayers we hold in the silence of our hearts.
Priest: In unity with the community of saints, we present our prayers through your son Jesus Christ, our Lord forever and ever. AMEN.
