Lord Jesus, you come to our aid in our weakness.
Christ Jesus, you judge with clemency and govern with compassion.
Lord Jesus, you are generous in kindness to all who call upon you.
Priest: With mercy, God hears our prayers for ourselves and for the world. We now present our prayers to the Lord:
1. That we, the baptized of the Church, may bear the good fruit of God’s compassion, kindness, and mercy. We pray to the Lord.
2. We pray for the governmental leaders of the world. May those in positions of power lead with justice and clemency. We pray to the Lord.
3. For those who are hungry. May the Lord may provide for their needs through the generosity and mercy of others. We pray to the Lord.
4. That parents plant the mustard seed of faith in their children’s lives and nurture it with their own faithful witness. We pray to the Lord.
5. For those carrying the burden of illness or injury. May the Spirit of God come to their aid and grant them healing and wholeness. We pray to the Lord.
6. For the lay leaders of our Catholic community. May the Lord give them wisdom and perseverance. We pray to the Lord.
7. For Hunter and Chris who are ordained to the diaconate this weekend. For the Holy Spirit to guide them in their ministry. For all deacons who serve in ministry in our Diocese. We pray to the Lord.
8. For all who have died. For their entry into eternal life. We pray to the Lord.
9. For the prayers we hold in our hearts. For those who have asked us to pray for them. We pray to the Lord.
Priest: Loving Father, you show forth your might power with gentleness and clemency, and you know the hearts of all your holy ones. We present these prayers today through your Son Jesus Christ, our Lord forever and ever. AMEN.
