Lord have mercy - you embody God’s love and mercy.
Christ have mercy - you forgive the sins of the contrite.
Lord have mercy - you are seated at the right hand of the Father.
Priest: Let us now bring our needs before the God, who hears our prayers:
1. That the Church and our Church leaders may witness God’s mercy, justice, and peace to the world.
2. That the actions of the leaders of government and society be rooted in patience and faithfulness.
3. That those who struggle to see God’s goodness due to grief or suffering: may be surrounded by the comfort of a faithful community.
4. May anger and hardness of heart be converted to compassion, humility, and joy.
5. For those who have died, especially our loved ones and family members. May they rejoice in the eternal communion of God.
6. For a greater sense of stewardship of the gifts God has bestowed upon us and care of God’s creation.
7. For the prayers we hold in the silence of our hearts.
Priest: Holy God, Source of all love and unity, hear these prayers we bring before you. Through belief in your triune mystery, grant us healing, peace, and the grace to live as your people. We ask this through Christ, our Lord. Amen.
