Lord Jesus - you call us to reconciliation.
Christ Jesus - you bring us hope.
Lord Jesus - you call us to conversion.
Priest: In the midst of our Lenten journey, we now present our prayer to our heavenly Father:
1. That God grant wisdom to our governmental leaders to better understand the needs of those they serve and inspire within them fresh ideas to advance the common good.
2. For peace in the Middle East and throughout the world.
3. That we in the Church may give witness to the dying and rising of Christ by our lives and be instruments of hope to all who are experiencing loss or limitation.
4. That God will transform our fears into hope, our selfishness into love, and our despair into new life.
5. That we may place ourselves at the feet of Jesus to learn and accept the gift of life that Jesus alone offers.
6. For our adults who are preparing for entry into the Church. For our youth and children preparing for the sacraments. That the Lord continue to bless them and guide them on their journey of faith.
7. For healing for the sick and the afflicted.
8. For the prayers we hold in our hearts.
Priest: With humble hearts, we present these prayers through your son Jesus Christ, our Lord forever and ever. AMEN.
