Prayers of the faithful - 9 November 2023 - Feast of the Dedication of the Lateran Basilica in Rome

Lord Jesus - you came to earth as a humble servant - Lord have mercy.

Christ Jesus - you are the savior of the world - Christ have mercy.

Lord Jesus - you love us with your sacred heart - Lord have mercy.  

Prayers of the faithful:

Priest: Let us unite our prayers with the prayers of community of saints as we celebrate the feast of the dedication of the Lateran Basilica in Rome:

1. For our governmental leaders and our Church leaders - that they may be faithful disciples and loyal to the apostolic tradition.  

2. That all the nations of the world and their leaders may work for true economic justice and lead the people in unity and solidarity. We pray that we all might work toward an end to war, terrorism, and violence. 

3. For the poor, the stranger, and the oppressed: that they may be welcomed by all Christians and our community.

4. That all youth may they be open to God’s call in their lives. We pray for a good beginning of the school year for our youth and children.  

5. That all of us may trust in Mary’s intercessions and imitate her faith and her virtues.  

6. For the sick and shut-ins, for healing for all of us in body, mind, and spirit. 

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

Gracious God, as we commemorate the dedication of the Lateran Basilica in Rome today at Mass, we ask that you hear the prayers of your children and grant them in the name of your son Jesus Christ, our Lord forever and ever.  AMEN.
