Lord Jesus - you proclaim the kingdom of God.
Christ Jesus - you send us out into the world to bring your Gospel message.
Lord Jesus - you are the beloved son of the Father.
Priest: We are grateful for God’s many blessings. Let us lift up our hearts in prayer:
1. That the Spirit of God may inspire and guide every dimension of our lives.
2. As our nation commemorates the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence this weekend, that our community of faith may be a witness to the common good and the dignity of every human person.
3. For those who teach, counsel, and care for children and youth. May the Lord lead them and guide them in the sacred responsibility of their work.
4. For the poor and the most vulnerable of society.
5. That the great compassion of God will restore to health and give hope to the sick, the suffering, the recovering, and the dying.
6. That the souls of the faithful who have died find rest and peace in the presence of God forever.
7. For the prayers we hold in the silence of our hearts.
Priest: As we lift our voices to you in prayer, O God, raise our spirits to the joy of your presence; as we lift up our hearts to you in hope, transform our lives into the glorious life of your Son, the risen Christ, in whose name we offer these prayers. Amen.
