Introduction: This weekend and next weekend we celebrate the last two Sundays of the liturgical year. Our readings on these weekends focus us on the last days. May our trust in our loving and merciful God bring us joy and hope.
Priest: Penitential Rite
Lord Jesus - you are the eternal high priest.
Christ Jesus - you are the just judge of the nations.
Lord Jesus - you will come again in glory.
Priest: Called to be people of mercy, we now turn to the Father of Mercy with our prayers today:
1. That the Church will serve as a beacon of mercy throughout the world. We pray to the Lord.
2. That all Christians may proclaim Christ in what we say, in what we do, and how we treat others. We pray to the Lord.
3. That our community leaders and civil servants reach out to the poor and vulnerable in society. We pray to the Lord.
4. That all of us will be nourished by Christ in the Eucharist and live out the spirit of the Eucharist each day in our words and our actions. We pray to the Lord.
5. During this month of remembrance, we pray that the souls of our loved ones and all the faithful departed be joined with the Lord on the last day. We pray to the Lord.
6. For all who gather to be nourished by Christ in the Eucharist, that we will recognize him as the true bread of life. We pray to the Lord.
7. For the prayers we hold in the silence of our hearts today. We pray to the Lord.
Priest: God all all, we thank you for our gifts, seen and unseen. Hear our faith-filled prayers that we offer today through your son Jesus Christ, our Lord forever and ever. AMEN.
