Lord Jesus, you proclaim the justice of God’s kingdom.
Christ Jesus, you call us to be good stewards of our gifts and treasures.
Lord Jesus, you call us to have faith.
Priest: With humble hearts, let us present our prayers to our heavenly Father:
1. For all leaders of government on the national, regional, and local levels: that God will inspire them with new ways to promote the welfare of citizens and the common good.
2. For all who are in need; for the poor, the homeless, the widow, the orphan, and those on the margins of society. May God open our eyes and hearts to their needs and their presence in our communities.
4. For the homebound: that they may experience God with them and support from our Christian community
5. For all who are bound by addictions of different kinds, especially to drugs and alcohol. May God break the bonds that hold them, help them to seek assistance, and guide them to people who will support and challenge them to live in a new way.
6. For all seminarians. For those studying for the diaconate, especially Chris and Hunter. For those in formation for lay ministry.
7. For the repose of the souls of the faithful departed. For our deceased loved ones and family members during this month of remembrance.
8. As we celebrate Carmelite saint Elizabeth of the Trinity, we pray for our Carmelites sisters in the Diocese of Jackson and for our secular Carmelite order in the Diocese.
9. For the prayers we hold in our hearts today.
PRIEST: Our we unite our prayers with the entire community of saints, we present our prayers through your son Jesus Christ, our Lord forever and ever. AMEN.
