26 May 2024 - Solemnity of the Most Holy Trinity - Prayers of the Faithful

Introduction - Baptized in the Holy Spirit, we invoke the Triune God today as we begin the mass with the sign of the cross. As we celebrate the Solemnity of the Most Holy Trinity today, let us reflect upon our Christian life in the Trinity in our words and our actions each day. 

Penitential Rite

Lord Jesus, you are the Son of the eternal Father: Lord, have mercy.

Lord Jesus, you bring us salvation through your death and resurrection:

Christ, have mercy.

Lord Jesus, you are the source of everlasting life: Lord, have mercy.

PRIEST: The God of the Trinity loves us and saves us.  In the name of the Triune God, let us now present our prayers: 

1. For God’s holy Church throughout the world, that we may strive to share the great good news of the salvation won for us in Christ Jesus, we pray to the Lord.

2. For peace and reconciliation in all the nations of the world, that the kingdom of the God of love and peace may rule throughout the earth, we pray to the Lord. 

3. For all who are living out the sacrament of marriage in their lives and all who are preparing to celebrate that sacrament, that their union of love might reflect the divine love among the three Persons of the Holy Trinity, we pray to the Lord.

4. For farmers and gardeners; for good weather as their crops and their gardens for our nourishment and for the betterment of our community, we pray to the Lord.

5. For catechists, teachers, and all who help us grow in our faith, in thanksgiving for all that they do, we pray to the Lord.

6. For the Sick and shut-ins of our community. For healing in their lives and in thanks for their caregivers. We pray to the Lord.  

7. For the faithful departed, for their entry into eternal life.  We pray to the Lord. 

8. For the prayers we hold in the silence of our hearts, for our prayer intentions spoken and unspoken. We pray to the Lord.

Priest: God of mercy and compassion, in your love for us, you sent your only Son for our salvation. Graciously hear our prayers in his name, for he is Lord with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God for ever and ever. AMEN.
