Priest - penitential rite:
Lord Jesus - you bring us your good news.
Christ Jesus - you destroyed death and restored life.
Lord Jesus - you are our Good Shepherd.
Priest: In confidence, let us call out to Jesus for our needs and the needs of all people near and far:
1. That Pope Francis and all our bishops and pastors may shepherd their flock with the same love and care Jesus showed to the crowds. 2. May our legislators and policy makers work to advance the common good in order to ensure the dignity of all people.
3. Like Jesus, may we break down the barriers of conflict and division. 4. For an end to terrorism, war, and violence in the world.
5. That all who are burdened be renewed in the Spirit.
6. For healing for the sick in body, mind, and spirit.
7. For our deceased loved ones and family members, for their entry into eternal life. 8. For the prayers we hold in the silence of our hearts.
Priest: Heavenly Father, you comfort us when we are hurt. You console us when we grieve. And you give us hope when we despair. We present our prayers through your son Jesus Christ, our Lord forever and ever. AMEN.
