Priest: Penitential Rite:
Lord Jesus - you died to save us from sin.
Christ Jesus - you rose from the dead and showed us the way to salvation.
Lord Jesus - you will come again in glory to lead your people home.
Priest: As we are called to follow Christ as his disciples, we pray for those most in need, the very ones whom Jesus himself said he was called to serve:
1. That the Church and our Church leaders may faithfully carry out the mission that Jesus left us, preaching the Good News to those in need and calling sinners to repentance. We pray to the Lord.
2. That those afflicted by poverty, war, or sickness may experience the light of the Savior born to heal all nations. We pray to the Lord.
3. That all who have died may behold face to face the Savior who came for them. We pray to the Lord.
4. We pray for the families of the men here at CMCF. We pray for their spouses, their parents, their children, and their siblings. We pray that their family members feel their love and their prayers. We pray to the Lord.
5. For those who suffer in relationships that have been damaged or have broken down, that they may find support and understanding. We pray to the Lord.
6. That world governmental leaders embrace the ideals of peace and justice within their nations and with other countries. We pray to the Lord.
7. For all who are struggling with addictions, anger, depression, and anxiety. For healing and wholeness in their lives. We pray to the Lord.
8. For the prayers we hold in the silence our of hearts. We pray to the Lord.
Priest: Heavenly Father, you call us to follow you son in the footsteps of the original disciples. Give us the grace as we follow this life of discipleship. We make our prayers through your son, Jesus Christ, our Lord forever and ever. AMEN.
