Lord Jesus - you bring us new life.
Chest Jesus - you are a sign of hope for those who seek you.
Lord Jesus - your is the way that lead us to salvation.
Priest: As we present our prayers to our heavenly Father, we call to mind our needs, the needs of the Church, and the needs of the world:
1. That our faith in the resurrection may give us hope and inspire us to provide a powerful witness of faith to the world, we pray to the Lord.
2. We pray for our elected officials, that the Holy Spirit may lead them and guide them in their governance, we pray to the Lord.
3. For an increase in vocations to the priesthood, diaconate, religious life, and lay leadership in the Church, that more men and women will realize their call from God to dedicate their lives to serving God and his people, we pray to the Lord.
4. That our faith community may provide consolation and support for those who mourn the loss of a loved one, giving witness to Jesus’ promise of everlasting life, we pray to the Lord.
5. For the unemployed. For those looking for a new job. For those searching for their vocation in life. We pray for the guidance of the Holy Spirit in their search. We pray to the Lord.
6. For the sick and the shut-in. For healing in body, mind, and spirit, we pray to the Lord.
7. For the repose of the souls of the faithful departed, especially those names inscribed in our book of remembrance, we pray to the Lord. We pray to the Lord.
8. For the prayers we hold in the silence of our hearts, for all of our intentions spoken and unspoken. We pray to the Lord.
Priest: God of life, we ask you that your hear our fervent prayers and give us the courage and strength to witness to your love. We present our prayers through your Son Jesus Christ, our Lord forever and ever. AMEN.
