Lord Jesus - you were nurtured by your parents, Joseph and Mary.
Christ Jesus - you are the beloved son of the Father.
Lord Jesus - you are our savior and redeemer.
Priest: As we celebrate the solemnity of St Joseph today in the midst of our Lenten journey, we present our prayers to our heavenly Father:
1. For our Holy Father, Pope Francis, our Bishop Joseph Kopacz, and all our Church leaders. May they follow the example of St Joseph as they lead God’s people through a responsible and dedicated leadership.
2. For our Christian community in the Diocese of Jackson. That may we respect and love each other, and be dedicated to our families by following the example of St Joseph.
3. For those entrusted with responsibility in the ministries of the Church. May they set an example for the people they lead.
4. May St Joseph inspire us to work for peace and justice in the world. We pray for peace in the Middle East and Ukraine.
5. For our first responders, for the men and women serving in the military, and for our veterans.
6. For healing for the sick and afflicted in body, mind, and spirit.
Priest: With faith and hope, we present these prayers through your son Jesus Christ, our Lord forever and ever. AMEN.
