Lord Jesus - you bless the poor in Spirit - Lord have mercy.
Christ Jesus - you call us to a path of holiness - Christ have mercy.
Lord Jesus - you call us to justice and peace - Lord have mercy.
PRIEST: As we unite our prayers with the prayers and intercessions of the community of saints in our celebration of All Saints Day, we present our prayers to our merciful God:
1. We pray for the Holy Catholic Church, Pope Francis, Bishop Joseph Kopacz, and all of our church leaders lay and ordained, for wisdom and clarity of mission as they lead God’s people, we pray to the Lord:
2. For the leaders of the nations, that they would promote justice, holiness, and respect for human life as they work together for the good of all, we pray to the Lord:
3. For our church community here at Holy Savior and Immaculate Conception parishes, that we would model our lives after the holy men and women of God, becoming more like Christ in all ways, we pray to the Lord:
4. In thanksgiving for the saints of God, for the love and mercy they have shown to the world, and for the example of faith they give to us, we pray to the Lord:
5. For those who are sick or suffering in any way, may they be comforted with the love of Christ. For healing for all of us in mind, body, and spirit. We pray to the Lord:
6. For all those who have died, that the light of Christ would shine upon them. In a special way, we pray for the souls in the process of purification in purgatory, we pray to the Lord:
7. For our own personal needs and intentions that we now recall in our hearts, we pray to the Lord:
PRIEST: As we honor the saints today in a special way, we make these prayers through your son Jesus Christ, our Lord for ever and ever. AMEN.
