12 March 2026 - prayers of the faithful for the 3rd week of Lent

Lord Jesus - you have the heart of a servant. 

Christ Jesus - you call us to unity and solidarity with God. 

Lord Jesus - you are journeying through the desert for 40 days. 

Priest: We bring our prayers to God in trust and hope, as God brings us his mercy and compassion.

1. For all Christians, that we may continue our Lenten journey in faith and holiness during these 40 days. 

2. That we may be obedient to God even when God’s will challenges us and when his will is difficult to follow.  

3. That all Christians may strive toward unity and collaboration with each other. 

4. For the faithful departed. For their entry into eternal life. 

5. For our first responder, our veterans, the men and women serving in the military, and our medical professionals. 

6. For the people of Ukraine and the holy land who are in the midst of war. For peace throughout the world.  

7. For healing for the sick and shut-in in body, mind, and spirit. 

8. For the prayers we hold in our hearts today.  

Priest: God of mercy and compassion, you call us to conversion and renewal. Hear the prayers that we make in faith today, through Jesus Christ our Lord forever and ever. Amen.
