30 May 2024 - Prayers of the faithful - Thursday of the 8th week in Ordinary Time

Lord Jesus - you call us to discipleship

Christ Jesus - you call us to be courageous in our faith. 

Lord Jesus - you are our Savior and Redeemer. 

Priest: With joy in our hearts, we present our prayers to our heavenly Father: 

1. That we in the Church may live as a Eucharistic people, giving and sharing of ourselves, as Christ continually does for us. 

2. For our first responders, for the men and women in the military, and for our medical professionals.  

3. For our children and youth, that they safe during the summer break and see God in their experiences this summer. 

4. For the Gospel of Life: may all profess the dignity of human life in their words and actions. 

5. That our faithfulness as disciples of Christ mirror the faithfulness Christ has for us.  

6. For the sick and shut-ins. For all who are struggling with mental illness, addictions, and depression. 

7. For the repose of the souls of the faithful departed. For their entry into eternal life.  For the souls in purgatory. 

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

Priest: We present these prayers, heavenly Father, through your Son Jesus Christ, our Lord forever and ever.  AMEN.
