Lord Jesus - You call us to be missionary in spirit.
Christ Jesus - You bring us hope.
Lord Jesus - You nurture us with your Good News.
PRIEST: With hope and faith, let us bring our prayers to our heavenly Father:
1. That God will strengthen Pope Francis and all our Church leaders and help them lead the Church to greater service, love and unity.
2. For all who are making a journey, particularly pilgrims and those going on mission trips and youth trips this summer, that God will guide and protect them on their journey and lead them to new discoveries about themselves and God’s love for them.
3. That those called to bring prophet witness to the people may touch their hearts and lead them to conversion and transformation.
4. That the Holy Spirit will guide our elected officials in addressing the issues of violence, injustice, and poverty, and allow them to work more diligently for those who are oppressed or forgotten by society.
5. For healing of families and communities, that those hurt by anger, division, or addictions may reconcile and be brought to wholeness.
6. For healing for the sick and the shut-in in body, mind, and spirit.
7. For the prayers we hold in the silence of our heart:
PRIEST: We present these prayers through your Son Jesus Christ, our Lord forever and ever. AMEN.
