Lord Jesus, you are the eternal Son of the Father.
Christ Jesus, your presence fills the universe.
Lord Jesus, you guide us home with you into bright glory.
PRIEST: We now present our prayers for our needs and the needs of the world to the God the Father who sent us his son, our Lord Jesus Christ:
1. For God’s pilgrim people throughout the world. We pray for a willingness to follow the path of love and mercy that God sets before us. We pray to the Lord.
2. For those who feel alone or abandoned. May we reach out to help our neighbors lost among violence, depression, addictions, and neglect. We pray to the Lord.
3. For those who have served our country whom we remember on the Memorial Day weekend. For those who lost their lives in defending our country. For the families who survived them and mourned them. We pray to the Lord.
4. For an affirmation and awareness of the dignity of all human life. We pray to the Lord.
5. For our family members and loved ones. May they feel our prayers and love reaching out to them each day. We pray to the Lord.
6. For all who are grieving or suffering in different ways. May Christ Jesus offer hope and encouragement through the struggles of our journey. We pray to the Lord.
7. For peace throughout the world, especially in the Middle East and Ukraine. For safety for the men and women in the military. We pray to the Lord.
8. For the prayers we hold in the silence of our hearts. We pray to the Lord.
PRIEST: God of all, we believe that we shall see the good things that you have in store for us in the land of the living. Hear the sound of our call, have mercy on us and answer us, through your son Jesus Christ, our risen Lord forever and ever. AMEN.
