Lord Jesus - you are the son of Mary.
Christ Jesus - you are the son of the living God.
Lord Jesus - you proclaim God’s kingdom.
Priest: As we honor the name of Mary in a special way today, we present our prayers to our heavenly Father:
1. For all who are discouraged by the burdens of life. That God will renew their hearts.
2. That those individuals and societies who are trapped in conflict may find ways to heal divisions and plant the seeds of peace.
3. That God’s healing love will strengthen the sick and the afflicted, remove their pain, and restore them to wholeness.
4. That God will continue to accompany and bless our children, youth, and college students through their activities and studies.
5. For those who are persecuted for the practice of their religion here in the United States and throughout the world.
6. For the Carmelite sisters here in Jackson, for Carmelites throughout the world, and for members of the secular Carmelite order here in the Diocese of Jackson.
7. For Pope Leo XIV’s prayer intention for the month of September. For the care of water. May we pray for the just and sustainable management of water, a vital resource, so that everyone may have equal access to it.
8. That we may unite our prayers with the prayers of Mary and the community of saints today. For those who have asked for our prayers.
Priest: We present our prayers through your son Jesus Christ, our Lord forever and ever. AMEN.
