Penitential rite:
Lord Jesus - you call us to faith.
Christ Jesus - you call us to holiness.
Lord Jesus - you call us to works of action.
Priest: With faith and hope, we present our prayers to our heavenly Father in the midst of our Lenten journey:
1. That the power of Christ’s mission and ministry may give us in the Church vision and perspective for our lives and the courage to live for God each day.
2. That we may recognize our need for God in every part of our lives and that we may deepen our trust and reliance on God.
3. That we may not be blinded by comfort or privilege to the struggles and suffering of others, gaining new insights on our journey of faith.
4. For discernment: that we may see beyond the false answers of consumerism and prosperity, that we may recognize that we will find the true fulfillment of our hungers and desires in God.
5. For all who are persecuted or suffering for their faith: that they may have the strength to bear the burdens of life and be witnesses of our faith.
6. For healing for the sick and shut-in. For the repose of the souls of the faithful departed.
7. For the prayers we hold in the silence in our hearts.
Priest: Lord, we thank you for the blessings we have in life. We thank you for your grace that helps us meet our challenges. We present our prayers through your son Jesus Christ, our Lord forever and ever. AMEN.
