Lord Jesus - you call us to repent.
Christ Jesus - you forgive the sins of the contrite.
Lord Jesus - you will come again in glory.
Priest: We present our prayers to our heavenly Father with humility and simplicity of heart:
1. For our Church leaders and our governmental leaders. May they lead us away from division and violence to unity and reconciliation.
2. That God will fill with hope those who are making new commitments in life. For those who are engaged to be married. For those who are looking for new work or starting a new job.
3. For all who are in transition. That God will give them courage in facing the unknown.
4. For all who are struggling to have hope on their journey. That God will open up new opportunities and give them strength and consolation.
5. That God will guide the displaced persons who have fled violence, famine, or natural disasters. May he lead them to places of safety.
6. For the repose of the souls of the faithful departed. For their entry into eternal life. For the names inscribed in our book of remembrance.
7. For the prayers we hold in our hearts today.
Priest: We present these prayers through your son Jesus Christ our Lord forever and ever.
