Lord Jesus - your bring us your Father’s love. 

Christ Jesus - your strengthen us on our journey of faith. 

Lord Jesus - you bring us hope.

1. That during the holy season of Lent, that the Church may be a sign of God’s love and care for all, especially those who are marginalized or outcast. 

2. For unity and civility within government and within the human family.

3. That these holy days of Lent inspire a spirit of cooperation among all people that we may restore the common good. 

4. For all who work in health care and medical research. That God may guide their efforts to fight disease and to promote life.

5. For all who carry physical, mental, emotional or economic wounds. For those who suffer because of addiction, depression, anxiety or grief. Lead them to wholeness and give them hope.

6. That all of us may be pilgrims of hope to those who are searching for meaning in life during the Jubilee Year. 

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

Priest: As we find meaning in our Lenten disciplines, we present our prayers through your son Jesus Christ, our Lord forever and ever. AMEN.
