7 January 2026 - prayers of the faithful for the Wednesday after epiphany

Lord Jesus - you are a light that shines in our world.

Christ Jesus - you are the prince of peace.

Lord Jesus - you are our redeemer and savior. 

Priest: As we are called to trust in the light that illuminates our path toward the Father, we bring God our prayers today:

1. For Pope Leo XIV, Bishop Kopeck, and all our Church leaders, that they may lead us in carrying the light of faith to all in darkness.

2. For the leaders of nations and all our governmental officials, that they respect religious freedom and protect those who are being persecuted for their faith.

3. For the faithful departed. For our deceased loved ones and family members. For their entry into eternal life. 

4. For those who struggle with addictions, mental health issues, anxiety, and depression. That they find a home in our faith.

5. For our children, youth, and teachers. That the Lord continue to lead them on their journey of faith. 

6. For the sick and the afflicted. For those in the hospital, hospice, and nursing home.

7. For the prayers we hold in the silence of our hearts.

Priest: Heavenly Father, you light the earth with faith and fill it with blessings. Make your people a beacon of hope for all in darkness. We ask this in the name of Jesus Christ our Lord forever and ever. Amen.
