prayers of the faithful for Friday after Ash Wednesday - 20 February 2026

Lord Jesus - you bring healing into our lives 

Christ Jesus - you bring us the love of your heavenly Father. 

Lord Jesus - you call us to reconciliation and forgiveness. 

PRIEST: In the first days of our Lenten journey, let us remember all in need:

1. For Pope Leo XIV, Bishop and all our leaders in faith. May they provide us guidance and wisdom on our Lenten journey.  

2. For all children who are at risk, who have run away, who are in institutional settings, or who are caught up in human trafficking. May God lead them to safety. 

3. For those battling depression, anxiety, mental health issues, and addictions. For healing and wholeness. 

4. For peace. We pray for an end to family feuds, social unrest, warfare, and violence.

5. For the repose of the souls of the faithful departed, for their entry into eternal life, and for the souls in purgatory.  

6. For our own needs and intentions. For the prayers we hold in the silence of our hearts. 

PRIEST: God of mercy, you have shown us love from the dawn of creation.  Let us know your ways and give us your help.  We make our prayers through your son Jesus Christ, our Lord forever and ever. Amen.
