Priest: penitential rite:
Lord Jesus - you are the master whose return we await with eager anticipation.
Christ Jesus - you are the way that leads to the Father.
Lord Jesus - you build us into a people that longs to see your face.
Priest: We now pray for the coming of God’s kingdom as we present our needs, the needs of the Church, and the needs of the world:
1. That we in the Catholic community at CMCF may work together to strengthen the faith of all our members as we prepare for the coming of God’s kingdom. We pray to the Lord.
2. That we may be good stewards of God’s gifts to us, caring for the earth’s resources for future generations. We pray to the Lord.
3. That we each may show our appreciation and gratitude for those who care for us, help us, and pray for us. We pray to the Lord.
4. For victims of crimes and abuse. For healing and wholeness in their lives. We pray to the Lord.
5. For our first responders, for the men and women in the military, and for our veterans. We pray to the Lord.
6. For all who gather today around the Lord’s table be reconciled to one another in God’s grace. We pray to the Lord.
7. We pray for all the guards, wardens, the superintendent, and all employees here at CMCF and all the officials in MDOC. We pray to the Lord.
8. For the prayers we hold in the silence of our hearts. For our prayer intentions spoken and unspoken. We pray to the Lord.
Priest: As you strengthen us and guide us on our journey of faith, we present these prayers through your son Jesus Christ, our Lord forever and ever. AMEN.
