prayers of the faithful - Tuesday of the third week of Lent - 5 MARCH 2024

Lord Jesus - you call us to give thanks. 

Christ Jesus - you call us to a life of service. 

Lord Jesus - you call us to holiness. 

Priest: Let us bring our prayers to God in trust and hope, as God is the true source of mercy and compassion.

1. For all Christians, that they may continue their Lenten journey in faith and holiness.  

2. For obedience to the will of God amongst Christ’s followers, even when God’s will challenges us and when his will is difficult to follow.  

3. For unity and collaboration amongst all Christians.  

4. For those who hunger and thirst in a physical sense, and for those who hunger and thirst for justice and righteousness.  

5. For the people in need in the Diocese of Jackson, particularly the sick, those looking for work, those feeling lost in life, and those battling addictions and mental health issues. 

6. For all who have gone before us in faith, for their entry into eternal life.  

7. For the people of Ukraine and the holy land who are in the midst of war, for safety, courage, and protection.  

8. For healing for the sick and shut-in. 

9. For the prayers we hold in our hearts today.  

Priest: God of mercy and compassion, you give new heart to your people: Hear the prayers we make in faith, through Jesus Christ our Lord forever and ever. Amen.
