Lord Jesus, you bring your message of Good News to the world.
Christ Jesus, you bring new life to your people.
Lord Jesus, you are the Good Shepherd.
Priest: As we celebrate the feast day of St James the Apostle today at Mass, we present our prayers to our Heavenly Father:
1. For the Church and our Church leaders. May our priests and bishops always preach the Gospel of Jesus Christ with integrity and hope.
2. That our governmental leaders work toward justice, healing, and reconciliation.
3. For all missionaries, peace makers, first responders, and the men and women in the military. May they feel our gratitude and prayers.
4. That all of us may proclaim the Gospel of life in our words and our actions, respecting human life from the moment of conception to the moment of natural death.
5. For healing for all who are sick in mind, body, and spirit. For patience and understanding for their family members and care givers.
6. For the repose of the souls of the faithful departed.
7. On the feast day of St James, we pray in a special way for the people of Spain and for all pilgrims, especially pilgrims who are journeying during the Jubilee year of hope.
8. For the prayers we hold in our hearts today.
Priest: God of love and compassion, you grant rest to the weary and you fill the needs of those who come to you. Hear these our prayers that we make through your son Jesus Christ our Lord for ever and ever. AMEN.
