Lord Jesus - you are the resurrection and the life.
Christ Jesus - you are the living bread that has come down from heaven.
Lord Jesus - you will raise us up on the last day.
Priest: As we unite our prayers with the prayers of the saints during November, the month of remembrance, we present our prayers to the God of mercy and compassion:
1. For our friends, family members, and members of our faith community who have died, may they rest in peace. We pray to the Lord.
2. For those who have lost their lives through war or violence, that the tragedy of their deaths may motivate people to work for peace and justice. We pray to the Lord.
3. For those who have died through accidents or suicide, that their loss may remind us of the sacredness and fragility of life here on earth. We pray to the Lord.
4. For those who are overcome by grief, that the power of Christ’s love may lift them up, heal them, and renew their hope. We pray to the Lord.
5. For those departed souls who have no one to pray for them, that they may always have the benefit of the prayers we offer in the Church for the faithful departed. We pray to the Lord.
6. For the repose of the souls in the process of purification in purgatory. We pray to the Lord.
7. For all our relatives and friends who have gone before us in faith, may their spirit and prayers live within us. We pray to the Lord.
8. For the prayers we hold in our hearts today. We pray to the Lord.
Priest: God of light, to live in your house is the desire of all your children. Hear our prayers and help us in all our needs. We ask these prayers through your Son, Jesus Christ, our Lord for ever and ever.
