Lord Jesus - you bring up hope.
Christ Jesus - you forgive the sins of the contrite.
Lord Jesus - you give us strength on our journey.
Priest: Out of the humility of our hearts, let us present our prayers to our heavenly Father:
1. That God will help our governmental leaders fulfill their duties and guide them in building cooperation with others.
2. That God will heal the divisions and animosity that exists in our society and help us to listen to one another.
3. That our families may be channels of God’s love and signs of God’s presence in society.
4. For all engaged and newly married couples, that they may invite Jesus to be part of their relationship and grow in their love and commitment to each other.
5. For the unity of all Christians, that God will heal the wounds in the body of Christ and help us to give common witness to God through prayer and acts of loving compassion.
6. For the faithful departed, for their entry into eternal life. For the souls in purgatory.
7. For the prayers we hold in the silence of our hearts.
Priest: With faith and hope, we present these prayers through your son Jesus Christ, our Lord forever and ever. AMEN.
