Lord Jesus - you are our hope.
Christ Jesus - you are our strength.
Lord Jesus - you are our Savior.
Priest: We present our prayers to our heavenly Father with faith and hope:
1. We pray for a deeper commitment to the stewardship of our planet. May we find ways to secure the earth and her resources for our children and future generations.
2. For all who are in special need. For those who suffer from anxiety or worry. For those who struggle through illness, death or grief.
3. For the grace of true conversion, that we in the Church may address the needs of our world, not only with words, but with determination and action.
4. We pray, Lord, that you free us from the need to control, from pride and selfishness. May we learn to serve others with love, patience and humility.
5. For the repose of the souls of the faithful departed. For the souls in purgatory. For their entry into eternal life.
6. We unite our prayers with the prayers of St Monica for those who are separated from the Church or for those who have left the faith.
7. For those prayers we hold in our hearts today.
Priest: Heavenly Father, we present our prayers this morning through your son Jesus Christ, our Lord forever and ever. AMEN.
