26 May 2025 - Prayers of the faithful - Monday of the 6th week of Easter

Lord Jesus - you fill us with Easter joy - Lord have mercy. 

Christ Jesus - you accompany the people of God on their journey of faith - Christ have mercy. 

Lord Jesus - you bring us hope - Lord have mercy. 

Priest: Gathered around the altar of the Lord, we bring our supplications on behalf of all in need.

1. That we in the Church may find ways to preach the word and serve our neighbor. 

2. For elected leaders, that they may serve with wisdom, compassion and humility. 

3. For an end to gun violence and terrorism in our nation and throughout the world. 

4. For all those who are graduating high school and college, may the Lord give them joy and encouragement as they reach this milestone in life.  

5.  That, more and more, we will come to see the Lord Jesus as the way, the truth, and the life. 

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

6. For the faithful departed. For their entry into eternal life. 

7. For our Carmelite sisters and for members of the secular Carmelite group. For continued blessings from God for their vocation. 

8. On Memorial Day, we pray for those who have given up their lives in service to the country in the military. We pray for those men and women currently serving in the military and for all of our veterans. 

9. For those prayers we hold in our hearts today. 

Priest: God of all, you sent your only Son to us as a sign of hope and faith. Help us always to keep his way firmly in our sights as we make these prayers to you in his name, Jesus Christ, our Risen Lord forever and ever.
