Introduction: As we gather around the table to the Lord today, many we feel God’s love and mercy filling our hearts, calling us to live out the values of the Gospel each day in our daily lives. May the Eucharist we receive at Mass today encourage us to be Eucharistic missionaries in the world.
Priest - penitential rite
Lord Jesus - your law is perfect.
Christ Jesus - your decrees are trustworthy. Lord Jesus - your ordinances are true.
Priest: Let us offer our prayers in confidence today, knowing that God will hear them and answer them according to his will:
1. For all leaders in Christ’s Church, that they may humbly serve with wisdom and compassion. We pray to the Lord.
2. For nations torn apart by war or civil unrest. May they seek reconciliation and peaceful alternatives to violence. We pray for peace in the Middle East and Ukraine. We pray to the Lord.
3. For judges, advocates, and civil servants. For those who uphold the rights of the poor and the oppressed. We pray to the Lord.
4. For our children and youth, that the Lord continue to accompany them in their school activities and studies this school year. We pray to the Lord.
5. That members of our parish community may find joy in God’s commandments and peace in his presence. We pray to the Lord.
6. For the faithful departed. For the entry into eternal life. For the souls in purgatory. We pray to the Lord.
7. For the prayers we hold in the silence of our hearts. We pray to the Lord.
Priest: God of mercy, you will judge us in the last days. Hear the prayers of our hearts today and grant them through your son Jesus Christ, our Lord forever and ever. Amen.
