Introduction: As we gather for Mass today, we are reminded that we are Christ’s disciples. In today’s Gospel, Christ’s disciples are sent on a missionary journey for the first time, calling the people to repentance and curing the sick. As Jesus was with them in spirit, he is with all of us in spirit on our own journey of faith. May we continue to preach the Gospel message as we continue on our own journey of faith.
Penitential rite - Priest -
Lord Jesus - you bring us words of truth - Lord have mercy.
Christ Jesus - you forgive our transgressions - Christ have mercy.
Lord Jesus - you bring comfort and healing to our weary world - Lord have mercy.
Prayers of the faithful:
Priest: As we receive many spiritual blessings from Christ, we call upon the Lord to make known our prayers today:
1. That we in the Church may follow in the disciples’ footsteps as we make our own journeys in the world: seeking repentance, bringing healing to the sick, and offering forgiveness. We pray to the Lord.
2. May we all work for justice and peace in our world. We pray to the Lord.
3. For all missionaries, for the safety and well-being as the proclaim the Gospel message throughout the world. We pray to the Lord.
4. That all victims of physical, emotional, and sexual abuse may know safety and security and receive the healing they need. We pray to the Lord.
5. That through the celebration of the Eucharistic revival, we may grow in the love of Christ present in the Eucharist. We pray to the Lord.
6. For healing for the sick in body, mind, and spirit. We pray to the Lord.
7. For our deceased loved ones and family members, for their entry into eternal life. We pray to the Lord.
8. For the prayers we hold in the silence of our hearts today. We pray to the Lord.
Priest: Heavenly Father, let us see your kindness and provide us with all we need. We present our prayers through your son Jesus Christ, our Lord forever and ever. AMEN.
