Prayers of the faithful - 4 February 2025 - Tuesday of the 4th week in Ordinary Time

Lord Jesus - you are the long-awaited Messiah. 

Christ Jesus - you are the beloved Son of God. 

Lord Jesus - you are our savior and redeemer. 

Priest: We present our prayers to God this evening with faith and humility: 

1. That we in the Church may create in our hearts an authentic place for God’s presence. 

2. That our Church leaders help the people bring Christ’s presence to all they encounter. 

3. May Christ open for those who have died the eternal joy and peace of eternal life with God. 

4. That in the obstacles and challenges we face in life, we may have confidence in God’s providence.  

5. That we may have a loving heart that is open to the word of God in the midst of our lived reality. 

6. For healing for the sick and the shut-in in body, mind, and spirit. 

7. For the prayers we hold in the silence of our hearts. 

Priest: We thank you for our blessings in life, heavenly Father.  And we thank you for your grace that helps us meet our challenges.  We present our prayers today through your son Jesus Christ, our Lord forever and ever. AMEN.
