Lord Jesus - you called your apostles to help you in your ministry.
Christ Jesus - you are our source and our strength.
Lord Jesus - you call us to be missionary in spirit.
Priest: Let us unite our prayers with the prayers of St Simon and St Jude, Apostles, as we celebrate them on their feast day:
1. For all Church leaders, especially Pope Francis and Bishop Joseph Kopacz, may they lead the Church in unity and courage in the spirit of the apostles.
2. For all of our governmental leaders, may the Lord lead them and guide them in the difficult decisions they have to make.
3. For all missionaries serving the Church throughout the world, for a missionary spirit in all of us, for great understanding and dialogue amongst the religions of the world.
4. For those who are struggling through life; for those struggling with addictions, anxiety, depression, and mental health issues; for those dealing with anger issues; for good health for all of us; for healing and help for those who need it.
5. For our leaders and volunteers at our Catholic community of St Michael the Archangel. We give thanks for all who help out in our ministries in different ways.
6. For our family members and loved ones who have left this world and who have entered into eternal life.
7. For the seemingly impossible causes in our life, we pray for St Jude for his help and for his intercession.
Priest: Heavenly Father, we present these prayers through your son Jesus Christ, our Lord for ever and ever. AMEN.
