Introduction - We come today to worship the Lord at Mass, to receive him in the Eucharist, to encounter him in our brothers and sisters, and to open ourselves to God’s revelation in the world. May today’s challenging readings inspire us to look at our lives and to remain on the path to God’s kingdom.
Priest - Penitential rite
Lord Jesus - your word is truth.
Christ Jesus - you are the way that leads us to salvation.
Lord Jesus - you call us away from sin and into new life in you.
Priest - As we are guided by the holy spirit, may we pray for our needs and the needs of our brothers and sisters throughout the world:
1. That the Church may truly be the Body of Christ in the world, focusing on the mission that Christ left us as his disciples. We pray to the Lord. 2. That those who have suffered abuse may find safety, healing, and justice through the ministry of the Church. We pray to the Lord.
3. For vocations to the priesthood, lay ministry, the diaconate, and consecrated religious life. May we all discern the vocation to which God calls us. We pray to the Lord.
4. For those who are searching for meaning in life. For those battling addictions, depression, anxiety, or mental health issues. For healing and wholeness. We pray to the Lord.
5. That the spirit of the national Eucharistic revival may continue in all of us as individuals and as a community. We pray to the Lord.
6. That all Christians may have the courage to bear witness to their faith and be evangelizers of Christ’s Good News. We pray to the Lord.
7. For healing for the sick in body, mind, and spirit. We pray to the Lord.
8. For the prayers we hold in the silence of our hearts today. We pray to the Lord.
Priest: As guided by the Holy Spirit, may we proclaim your grace in word and deed. We present our prayers through your son Jesus Christ, our Lord forever and ever. AMEN.
