Introduction: As the Lord calls us to a life of discipleship in the reality of life, he calls us to a particular vocation and to use our gifts and talents for the glory of God’s kingdom. We are called to value the treasures of our faith, not to place our hope and trust in the values of the world. Let us lift up our hearts and raise our voices to God at Mass today, as God leads us to the source of the richness of our faith.
Priest: penitential rite:
Lord Jesus - you are our lasting treasure.
Christ Jesus - you call us to share our resources with others. Lord Jesus - you lead us to everlasting life.
Priest: Now let us turn to God with tender and humble hearts, praying for all in need:
1. That we in the Church may find fulfillment on our journey of faith. We pray to the Lord.
2. That those who suffer from hunger, poverty, and unemployment may receive help and assistance they need. We pray to the Lord.
3. For judges, attorneys, and all who work in the justice system. That they may exercise their duties with justice and fairness. We pray to the Lord.
4. For safety from natural disasters. For safe travels, especially for pilgrims in the Jubilee Year of hope. We pray to the Lord.
5. That we as a parish may always put our faith into action, sharing our goodness and virtues with the community. We pray to the Lord.
6. For consecrated religious brothers and sisters, especially for those serving here in the Diocese of Jackson. May the Lord continue to bless them in their vocation. We pray to the Lord.
7. That all of us may live out the values of the Eucharist on our journey of faith each day. We pray to the Lord.
Priest: With humble and faithful hearts, we present our prayers through your son Jesus Christ, our Lord forever and ever. AMEN.
