Lord Jesus - you call us to stand firm in our faith.
Christ Jesus - you proclaim the kingdom of God.
Lord Jesus - you are the word of God.
Priest: In a spirit of trust and hope, we present our prayers to our heavenly Father:
1. For a spirit of gratitude. May we recognize our gifts, possessions, and opportunities as blessings from God, that we may place each of them in the service of God.
2. For all who are bound by a spirit of self-righteousness. That God will free their hearts, break down the walls of prejudice, and open them to the dignity of each person.
3. For all who are suffering or being persecuted for their faith. That God will comfort and strengthen them and bring them safely through their trial.
4. For greater respect for each person. That God will turn the hearts of all who rely upon violence and bring healing to all who have suffered harm, abuse or neglect
5. For healing for the sick and the afflicted. For healing in body, mind and spirit.
6. For a greater love for the Eucharist and a greater devotion to Mary.
7. For the prayers we hold in the silence of our hearts.
Priest: In unity with the community of saints, we present our prayers through your son Jesus Christ, our Lord forever and ever. AMEN.
