Lord Jesus - you are the prince of peace.
Christ Jesus - you proclaim the kingdom of God.
Lord Jesus - you call us to faith.
Priest: As we celebrate the 4th of July today, we present our prayers with love and hope:
1. For Pope Leo XIV, Bishop Joseph Kopacz, and all our Church leaders. That the Lord will guide them and encourage them as the lead the people of God.
2. For Christian Unity. We pray that God will heal the wounds and mistrust between the different Christian groups. May God help them work together for his glory.
3. That God will restore all who have had surgery, give hope and strength to those being treated for cancer, and mend the broken bones and spirits of those who have been injured.
4. That Christ will heal the human family of greed and violence. We pray for a peaceful resolution to conflicts in the Middle East and in Ukraine. We pray for justice in the world.
5. For gardeners, farmers, and farm laborers. For a bountiful harvest and good weather.
6. For healing in our lives in body, mind, and spirit. For the sick and the afflicted.
7. For our country as we celebrate our Independence Day today.
8. For the prayers we hold in the silence of our hearts today.
Priest: With faith and hope, we present these prayers through your son Jesus Christ, our Lord forever and ever. AMEN.
