Lord Jesus - you bring us hope.
Christ Jesus - you call us to discipleship.
Lord Jesus - you bring us the joy of our faith.
Priest: We now to bring our prayers to our merciful God:
1. For the Church and our leadership. May we work together to find unity, healing and peace. May we be a sign of God’s love in the world.
2. For the grace of fidelity. May we be faithful in our relationships with spouses, siblings, parents, children, relatives, neighbors and friends.
3. That God may heal the divisions and ease the tensions that pull us apart from each other.
4. That God may instill in us a deep respect for all human life from conception to natural death. May we honor the sacredness of every person.
5. That we may find ways to share the resources of our planet and to deal with climate change and natural disasters.
6. That God may tenderly hold all who are persecuted in our world and touch their lives with peace.
7. For all who are sick, addicted, dying and grieving.
8. For the prayers we hold in the silence of our hearts.
Priest: We ask these prayers through your son Jesus Christ, our Lord forever and ever. AMEN.
