Lord Jesus - you call us to take up our crosses and to follow you.
Christ Jesus - you call us to serve others.
Lord Jesus - you are seated at the right hand of the Father.
Priest: With humble hearts, we now present our prayers to our heavenly Father:
1. For all who have helped to strengthen our faith. For parents, teachers, and those who give witness by the fidelity of their life, that they may continue to be examples of Christian discipleship.
2. For students, that God will help them learn, stay safe, and find the resources they need to assist them in their studies.
3. For justice and peace. That God will protect all who are experiencing warfare and injustice, particularly the people of Ukraine and the Middle East.
4. That the Holy Spirit will help us to be better listeners, opening our minds and our hearts to what others have to say and to be attentive to God’s word that speaks to our hearts.
5. For healing for all of us in body, mind and spirit.
6. For the repose of the souls of our deceased loved ones and community members. For their entry into eternal life.
7. For respect life month in the month of October, that we may grow in our respect for human life from the moment of conception to the moment of natural death.
8. For the prayers we hold in the silence of our hearts.
Priest: With joy in our hearts, we present our prayers today through your son Jesus Christ, our Lord forever and ever. AMEN.
