5 February 2026 - prayers of the faithful for Thursday of the 4th week of Ordinary Time

Penitential Rite: 

Lord Jesus - you reach out to the broken hearted. 

Christ Jesus - you are our savior and our redeemer. 

Lord Jesus - you bring us new life. 

Priest: With humble hearts, we now present our prayers to our heavenly Father: 

1. That Pope Leo XIV and Bishop Kopacz will lead us to greater holiness on our journey. 

2. That will grow in our love of the Eucharist and live out the values of the Eucharist each day on our journey of faith. 

3. That we will reach out to the poor and the suffering through works of mercy. 

4. That those who have passed through gates of death may gain entry to eternal life. 

5. That those who are broken, suffering, or afflicted receive healing in body, mind, and spirit. 

6. That our faith will lead us to engage in a new evangelization that will reach out to the lost sheep and to those who have left the Church. 

7. For the faithful departed, for their entry into eternal life. 

8. For those still recovering from the storms and the cold winter weather. 

9. For the prayers we hold in the silence of our hearts today. 

Priest: We present our prayers through your son Jesus Christ, our Lord forever and ever.  AMEN.
