Lord Jesus - you are the living word of God.
Christ Jesus - you are the beloved son of the father.
Lord Jesus - you are our savior and our redeemer.
Priest: With faith and hope, let us present our prayers to our heavenly Father:
1. For all who are unable to share in the Eucharist with us today, particularly those who are being persecuted for the faith, that the Word of God and the love of fellow Christians may bring them strength and support.
2. That all of our Church leaders may show God's compassion to those in need, and lead the Church in giving praise and thanks to God.
3. For all Eucharistic ministers, particularly those who serve at Mass and who bring communion to the sick, that they will grow ever closer to Christ and be signs of God’s love to all Christians.
4. For the protection of fresh water of the earth, that God will guide us in keeping the waters free from chemicals and other pollutants so that we may have safe water. We pray for those working to improve the water system in the city of Jackson.
5. For all who are suffering: that God will help the unemployed to find work, open resources to the homeless, and free those experiencing abuse.
6. For the faithful departed, for their entry into eternal life.
7. For those who are sick and afflicted. For those struggling with depression, anxiety, mental health issues, and addictions. For healing and wholeness.
8. For the prayers we hold in the silence of our hearts.
Priest: We present our prayers through your son Jesus Christ, our Lord forever and ever. AMEN.
