Prayers of the faithful - 15 September 2024 - Catechetical Sunday - 24th Sunday of Ordinary Time - Prison ministry

Lord Jesus - we are called to take up our crosses and to follow you.

Christ Jesus - you are the beloved son of the Father. 
Lord Jesus - you are our savior and redeemer. 

Priest: With humble and faithful hearts, let us present our prayers to our heavenly Father. 

1. For Pope Francis, Bishop Kopacz, and all our Church leaders. That they may lead us to the nourishment and sustenance we receive in Christ in his body and blood: the Eucharist. We pray to the Lord. 

2. That we may be open to the vision God holds for us and that we may be free to rely upon God in our trials, struggles, and doubts. We pray to the Lord. 

3. For the grace to forgive. As we experience God’s generous forgiveness for us, may we be free to forgive all who have wronged us. We pray to the Lord. 

4. For the grace to encounter Christ. That we may recognize Christ in each person we meet, treating that person with dignity and respect. We pray to the Lord. 

5. We pray for all those who teach us about the faith. We pray to the Lord. 

6. For the all the men here at CMCF who are in programs of study. We pray for that God open their hearts and minds to learn. We pray to the Lord. 

7. For a transformation of our minds and hearts. That the Holy Spirit will free us from resentment and anger and guide us in living as children of God each day. We pray to the Lord. 

8. For the faithful departed. For the entry into eternal life. For the souls in purgatory. We pray to the Lord. 

9. For the prayers we hold in the silence of our hearts. We pray to the Lord. 

Priest: Heavenly Father, we thank you for the blessings you give us life. We thank you for your grace that helps us meet our trials and challenges. We present our prayers through your son Jesus Christ, our Lord forever and ever. AMEN.
