Lord Jesus - you call us to works of mercy.
Christ Jesus - you bring us the love of the Father.
Lord Jesus - you call us to faith and hope.
Prayers of the faithful:
Priest: As we celebrate the feast day of St Ignatius of Loyola today, we present our prayers to our heavenly Father:
1. For all the holy men and women who serve the body of Christ in the Church.
2. That the nations of the world will work for justice and peace.
3. That all who suffer and struggle through life may see their crosses united with the cross of Christ.
4. For those who are sick and injured. For their care giver and medical professionals. For healing in their lives.
5. That in our celebration of Mass today, we feel ourselves surrounded by St Ignatius and for the other members of the community of faith as they help us with their prayers and intercessions.
6. For the Jesuit religious order and for the schools and institutions that they run.
7. For the prayers we hold in the silence of our hearts.
Priest: With joyful hearts, we present our prayers through your son Jesus Christ, our Lord forever and ever. AMEN.
