3 February 2026 - Prayers of the faithful for Tuesday of the 4th week in Ordinary Time

Penitential Rite - 

Lord Jesus - you are the Lamb of God. 

Christ Jesus - you call us to follow you with devotion and sincerity of heart. 

Lord Jesus - you form us as the Body of Christ here on earth. 

Prayers of the faithful - 

Priest -  Brothers and sisters, let us now present our needs to the God of love and mercy: 

1. That Pope Leo XIV and all our Church leaders lead us to be examples of Christian hospitality and compassion.  

2. That our governmental officials lead us in justice and hope.  

3. That by their words and actions, our parents and teachers may lead our children to Jesus, the Lamb of God.

4. For the elderly and all who are lonely. That they may know our support during these dark winter days. 

5. For the sick and the afflicted. For those who need healing in body, mind, and spirit.  

6. For those who have died recently, and for all our faithful departed. That God who delivered Jesus from death may raise them too. 

Priest -  God our creator, you hear our cries: grant our petitions according to your will that we make through your son Jesus Christ, our Lord forever and ever. Amen.
