Lord Jesus - you are the beloved son of the Father.
Christ Jesus - you forgive the sins of the contrite.
Lord Jesus - you are our savior and our redeemer.
Priest: We now present our prayers to our heavenly Father:
1. For growth in holiness and for the grace to live out the Gospel more fully in our lives each day.
2. That we may fulfill the work to which God has called us and be drawn ever deeper into friendship with God.
3. For the courage to turn the other cheek, to forgive our neighbor, and to resist temptation.
4. That God will heal the pain in those who have experienced abuse and lead us to wholeness and healing.
5. That God will strengthen us when we have been insulted or injured so that we may continue to love and serve without reservation.
6. For the prayers we hold in the silence of our hearts.
Priest: We present these prayers, heavenly Father, through your son Jesus Christ, our Lord forever and ever. AMEN.
