Priest - Penitential Rite:
Lord Jesus - you died to take away our sins.
Christ Jesus - you rose again to bring us new life.
Lord Jesus - you call us to generosity of heart.
Priest: As we are confident in God’s gracious love for us, we now present our prayers with faith and hope:
1. For our Church leaders, that they be faithful stewards of God’s grace, we pray to the Lord.
2. As we commemorate Veteran’s day on Monday, we pray for all veterans and for all who have served our country, especially those who are still struggling with the effects of war. We pray to the Lord.
3. For the unemployed and for those looking for work. May God lead them to work that is productive and fulfilling. We pray for those who are getting ready to be released from CMCF. We pray that they be prepared for their transition to the free world. We pray to the Lord.
4. For our governmental leaders, especially those who were newly elected this past week in our national and local elections. That the Lord lead them and guide them and give them wisdom in their service to the people. We pray to the Lord.
5. That Christians may respond to the needy and the forgotten with generous hearts. We pray to the Lord.
6. For those deal with mental health issues, anger, anxiety, or depression. May they feel God’s healing presence in their lives. We pray to the Lord.
7. For the prayers we hold in the silence of our hearts today. We pray to the Lord.
Priest: Heavenly Father, we ask that you help us imitate your generosity as you grant our needs and the needs of our brothers and sisters through your son Jesus Christ, our Lord forever and ever. AMEN.
