Lord Jesus - you call us to a life of discipleship.
Christ Jesus - you are the Savior of the World.
Lord Jesus - you are the living word of God.
Priest: In the midst of the challenges of life, the Lord invites us to trust in him and present our needs to him. We present our prayers to God as we honor St Mary Magdalene today:
1. That the Church may always proclaim, faithfully and joyfully, the presence of Christ in our midst.
2. That all public officials may seek to secure the God-given rights of the people, proclaiming a respect for all human life.
3. That the gift of hospitality may fill our families and communities. May it shape the way we respond to the terminally ill, the unborn, and those on the margins.
4. That those in the Church dedicated to contemplation and solitude may be faithful to their call and persevere in prayer. We pray in a special way for the Carmelites sisters here in Jackson and other consecrated religious in our diocese.
5. That the sick may find peace in uniting their sufferings with the sufferings of Christ.
6. That all who have died may find eternal rest and peace. We pray in a special way for our deceased loved ones and family members.
7. That we may united our prayers with the prayers and intercession of St Mary Magdalene.
8. For the prayers we hold in our hearts.
Priest: Heavenly Father, we rejoice in how close you are to your people. Hear our prayers and give us the grace to serve you joyfully. We ask this through Jesus Christ, our Lord forever and ever. Amen.
