Lord Jesus - you guide us along the right paths.
Christ Jesus - you show us the way to the banquet of eternal life.
Lord Jesus - you show us love and compassion.
Priest: With joy in our hearts, let us humbly present our prayers to our heavenly Father for our needs and the needs of our brothers and sisters:
1. That we in the Church may be tenacious in extending God’s invitation to all we encounter, reaching out to those in our parish and throughout our community.
2. For our elected leaders, that they may work to help those on the margins of society, treating them with dignity and respect.
3. For those in our own country and around the world who are malnourished and who go hungry, that we may work together to eliminate hunger.
4. That we may go forth from the Eucharistic banquet today nourished and inspired to share the richness of our faith with others.
5. For our deceased family members and loved ones, for their entry into eternal life.
6. For healing for all who are sick. For healing for all of us in body, mind, and spirit. We pray for those who are struggling with addictions, mental illness, and depression.
7. For the Jubilee Year, that all of us may be pilgrims of hope.
8. For all the prayers we hold in the silence of our hearts, for all our prayer intentions spoken and unspoken.
Priest: God of plenty, you invite us to your feast. Inspire us to extend that hospitality and generosity to all those we encounter. We present our prayers through your son Jesus Christ, our Lord forever and ever. AMEN.
