Priest or Deacon - Penitential Rite:
Lord Jesus - you proclaim the Gospel of God’s kingdom - Lord have mercy.
Christ Jesus - you cured the sick and the afflicted - Christ have mercy.
Lord Jesus - you will come in the end times to gather the world - Lord have mercy.
Prayers of the faithful:
Priest: Jesus tells the woman of great faith in the Gospel today: “Let it be done for you as you wish.” As we come to God in faith today, let us offer up in prayer our needs, the needs of the Church, and the needs of world:
1. That we in the Church may reach out to those who have been slighted, alienated, or rejected. May they feel the love and compassion of our Catholic faith. We pray to the Lord.
2. For peace amongst the nations and in our community. May we embrace peace, reconciliation, and non-violence. We pray especially for peace here at CMCF. We pray to the Lord.
3. For visitors to the Catholic faith and for the stranger in our midst. That they may find welcome and acceptance. We pray to the Lord.
4. That we may value human life at every stage and in every condition. We pray to the Lord.
5. For healing for the sick and the afflicted. For all who are struggling with addictions, depression, or mental illness. For the men in the infirmary and in the BMU here at CMCF. We pray to the Lord.
6. For the repose of the souls of the faithful departed. For their entry into eternal life. For the souls in purgatory. We pray to the Lord.
7. That all of us may be missionary in spirit and help evangelize the Gospel message here in our corner of the world. We pray to the Lord.
8. For the prayers we hold in the silence of our hearts. For our intentions spoken and unspoken. We pray to the Lord.
Priest: Loving God, you offer your love and mercy to all your children. As we grow in our faith, may we realize your universal call to love and mercy. We make our prayers through Jesus Christ, our risen Lord forever and ever. AMEN.
