Lord Jesus - you call us to forgiveness.
Christ Jesus - you bring us your healing presence.
Lord Jesus - you call us to a life of discipleship.
Priest: As we journey through the beginning of the holy season of Lent, we present our prayers to our heavenly Father:
1. That the Lord will renew the Church. May all the Catholic faithful be bold and dynamic witnesses to God’s love in the world.
2. That the Lord will strengthen us to bear our daily challenges and to carry our crosses.
3. For all the adult catechumens and candidates in the OCIA program. For all the children and youth preparing for the Easter sacraments.
4. That we welcome those who are separated or alienated from the Church. That God open our hearts to all who are seeking something in life.
5. That the Lord will shepherd our beloved sick and grieving; console the homebound and the lonely, and comfort the afraid and the imprisoned.
6. For the prayers we offer in the silence of our hearts.
Priest: With faith and hope on our Lenten journey, we present these prayers through your Son Jesus Christ, our Lord forever and ever. AMEN.
