You were sent to heal the contrite of heart: Lord, have mercy.
You came to call sinners: Christ, have mercy.
You plead for us at the right hand of the Father: Lord, have mercy.
Prayers of the faithful:
Priest: Brothers and sisters, we now present our prayers to God, who has compassion for the humble.
1. For priests and bishops, that their words and actions may always proclaim the Good News of Christ.
2. For the leaders of our country and of all the nations, that they may be true servants to the people.
3. For peace in the world: for an end to violence, war, and terrorism. We pray for the men and women protecting our country in the military.
4. For victims of war, terrorism, and violence. May we all be peacemakers in our little corner of the world.
5. For all who teach and educate our children, youth, and adults. May they share their knowledge with their students in a life-giving and constructive way.
6. For those who mourn, that they may be comforted.
7. For people who are sick, in mind or body — that they may be healed.
8. For those who have died, especially for our family members and loved ones during this month of remembrance.
9. For the prayers we hold in our hearts today.
Priest: God of all goodness: listen to the desires of our hearts. We humbly ask that you hear the prayers we make today through your son, Jesus Christ our Lord for ever and ever. Amen.
