Lord Jesus - You hear the cry of the poor.
Christ Jesus - You do the will of the Father.
Lord Jesus - You are our savior and redeemer.
Priest: The Lord listens to the prayers we make out of the simplicity of our hearts. Let us now present our prayers to our heavenly Father:
1. That our political leaders may listen to opposing views, respect the dignity of those with different ideas, and strive to find a path that will promote the welfare of society.
2. That being aware that all creation came through Christ, we may work to honor and protect God’s creation as a sign of his love for all people.
3. For those who keep us safe in society: for first responders, for the men and women in the military, and for our medical professionals.
4. For an end to violence and bloodshed in our local communities and throughout the world. May we work through a new vision of cooperation and justice that is rooted in our faith.
5. For our children, youth, and families. May the Lord bless them in all their activities.
6. For persistence and perseverance in following the will of God in our lives.
7. For the prayers we hold in our hearts.
Priest: As we give thanks to you, O heavenly Father, we present our prayers through your son Jesus Christ, our Lord forever and ever. AMEN.
