Penitential Rite:
Priest: Lord Jesus - You look with compassion upon your people - Lord have mercy.
Christ Jesus - you are the great prophet who has arisen in our midst - Christ have mercy.
Lord Jesus - you feed your people with the finest wheat - Lord have mercy.
Priest: Let us now give voice to our needs and the needs of the world as we place our trust in the Lord:
1. That we in the Church may place our trust in God that what we are able to offer may be enough to fill the needs of many. May the Lord help the men of our St Michael community reach out to the other men at CMCF. We pray to the Lord.
2. That hunger may be eliminated in every nation and in every household. That those who lack adequate drinking water may have their needs filled. We pray for those working to solve the drinking water problem in the city of Jackson. We pray to the Lord.
3. For those who assist in food pantries and soup kitchens. In gratitude for their work in helping others. We pray to the Lord.
4. For recovery and safety from all those who have been affected by natural disasters and by the hot summer weather. We pray to the Lord.
5. For healing for the sick in body, mind, and spirit. We pray to the Lord.
6. For the prayers we hold in the silence of our hearts today. We pray to the Lord.
Priest: Generous God, may we continue to trust in your love and benevolence and our ability to bring your generosity to those in need. We present our prayers through your son Jesus Christ, our Lord forever and ever. AMEN.
