Priest or Deacon: Penitential rite:
Lord Jesus - you bless the poor in Spirit - Lord have mercy.
Christ Jesus - you call us to holiness - Christ have mercy.
Lord Jesus - you call us to justice and peace - Lord have mercy.
Priest: As we unite our prayers with the prayers of the Blessed Mother and the entire community of saints in our celebration of All Saints Day, we present our prayers to our loving God:
1. For the Holy Catholic Church. May God grant Pope Leo XIV, our Bishop Joseph Kopacz and all church leaders wisdom and clarity of mission as they lead the people of God. We pray to the Lord.
2. For our governmental leaders. May they promote justice, holiness, and respect for human life. May they work together for the common good. We pray for our upcoming election. We pray to the Lord.
3. For the Diocese of Jackson and for our Catholic community here at CMCF. That we would model our lives after the holy men and women of God in the community of saints. We pray to the Lord.
4. In thanksgiving for the saints of God. For the love and mercy they have shown to the world. For the example of faith they give us. We pray to the Lord.
5. For those who are sick or suffering. May they be comforted with the love of Christ. For healing for all of us in mind, body and spirit. We pray to the Lord.
6. For all those who have died. That the light of Christ would shine upon them. We pray to the Lord.
7. For Pope Leo’s prayer intention for the month of November. For the proper use of wealth. That we not succumb to the temptation of selfishness. That wealth be put at the service of the common good and solidarity of those who have less. We pray to the Lord.
8. For the prayer intentions that we now recall in our hearts. For those who have asked for our prayers. We pray to the Lord.
Priest: As we honor the saints in our Mass today, we make these prayers through your son Jesus Christ, our Lord for ever and ever. AMEN.
