Priest: Penitential rite:
Lord Jesus - you gather your people into your everlasting love and compassion.
Christ Jesus - your salvation reaches the ends of the earth.
Lord Jesus - you are the way that leads to everlasting life.
Priest: Let us pray for all in need, placing our trust in the Lord:
1. That we in the Church be true witnesses of the faith, encouraging each other to persevere in our discipleship through hardships, challenges, and setbacks. We pray to the Lord.
2. That our world leaders may exercise wisdom and good judgement when faced with opposition or dissent. We pray to the Lord.
3. That people of different backgrounds and cultures may overcome misunderstandings and differences in order to work together in unity and solidarity. We pray for collaboration and cooperation amongst everyone here at CMCF. We pray to the Lord.
4. That all of us be good stewards of God’s creation, taking care of our resources and reaching out to our neighbor. We pray for the continued work on the water system in the city of Jackson. We pray to the Lord.
5. For those who suffer from the summer’s heat and from natural disasters. From the help and recovery that they need. We pray to the Lord.
6. For pilgrims during the Jubilee year of hope. That all of us be ambassadors of hope in the world during this Jubilee year. We pray to the Lord.
7. We pray for all the men and women here who struggle with addictions, anxiety, depression, and mental health issues. 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: God of unity and mercy, we ask that you listen to the prayers we humbly present to you and help us to accept your response. We present our prayers through your son Jesus Christ, our Lord forever and ever. AMEN.
