29 February 2023 - prayers of the faithful - Thursday of the 2nd week in Lent

Penitential Rite: 

Lord Jesus - you call us to wisdom. 

Christ Jesus - you call us to follow you on our Lenten journey. 

Lord Jesus - you are the beloved son of the Father. 

Priest: In faith and hope, as we continue our Lenten journey, let us now bring our prayers to our heavenly Father:

1. For all who are discerning God's call or beginning a new commitment: that God will free them from fear, guide them along the path to life, and help them to trust that God will provide for our needs.

2. For greater trust: that we may rely upon God’s love and providence as we enter the deeper waters of vocation, marriage, parenting and employment

3. For a deepening conversion of heart: that God’s Spirit will help us discover our misdirection, guide us in practicing the teachings of Christ, and lead us to faith, hope, and love.  

4. For all those in the RCIA process: that they may receive the Gospel message as a word of life and grow in their knowledge and love of God

5. For all who feel unwelcome or unworthy before God: that God’s unconditional love may heal and free them so that they may live in the freedom of the children of God. 

6. For healing for the sick and shut-in.  For the faithful departed, for their entry into eternal life. 

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

Priest: With faith and hope, we present our prayers through your son Jesus Christ, our Lord forever and ever.  AMEN.
