Penitential Rite:
Lord Jesus - you love us with your Sacred Heart.
Christ Jesus - you bring us your Father’s love and compassion.
Lord Jesus - you call us to peace and justice.
Priest: As we celebrate the Sacred Heart of Jesus on the First Friday of the month, we present our prayers to our heavenly Father:
1. For the Church, that all who believe in the risen Lord and his Sacred heart may follow him faithfully.
2. For our Diocese and for our parish community, that we may see the Lord in the signs he has left us, giving us new life in our baptismal promises and nourishing us in the Eucharist.
3. For all who are in need, that those with plenty may act with compassion in serving their brothers and sisters in Christ with justice.
4. For all who are sick or suffering and for those who are close to death, that Jesus, the risen Savior, may give them grace and strength.
5. For the faithful departed, for their entry into eternal life. For the souls in the process of purification in purgatory.
6. For all who are affected by the cold winter weather.
7. For the prayers we hold in the silence of our hearts this morning.
Priest: God our Father, increase in our minds and hearts the new life we share with Christ. We ask our prayers through your son Jesus Christ, our Lord forever and ever. AMEN.
