Friends in Christ, God invites us to hold the needs of our sisters and brothers as dear to us as our own needs. Loving our neighbors as ourselves, we offer our thanksgivings and our petitions on behalf of the church and the world:


For the Church: that we will live as a Eucharistic people, giving and sharing ourselves, as Christ continually does for us, so that all may have life: let us pray to the Lord.


For this assembly: that we may find strength in each Eucharist that we share so that we may profess in word and deed the dying and rising of Lord each day: let us pray to the Lord.


For our fuller participation in the New Covenant: that each sharing in the Eucharist may deepen our baptismal identity as beloved daughters and sons of God and our communion in Christ: let us pray to the Lord.


For all priests: that they may be renewed, strengthened, and drawn closer to God and God’s people as they celebrate the Eucharist: let us pray to the lord.

 

For all who cannot receive the Eucharist: that we, as Body of Christ, may be a source of God’s love and compassion for them: let us pray to the Lord.


For all who hunger for deeper meaning and truth: that our witness may help them find Christ who will fulfill the longings of their hearts: let us pray to the Lord.


For all who lack food and nourishment: that we may hear Christ’s challenge to “give them food” and open our hearts more fully to all who are in need: let us pray to the Lord.


For greater awareness and reverence for Christ’s presence: that we may recognize the many ways Christ is present in the Eucharist, in the scriptures, and in one another, and approach our celebrations with faith and reverence: let us pray to the Lord.


For an eschatological vision: that we may recognize our invitation to share in the heavenly banquet each time we share in the Eucharistic celebration: let us pray to the Lord.


For a greater spirit of openness and hospitality: that we may welcome all whom God sends our way and share with them the gifts that God has shared with us: let us pray to the Lord.


For all who bring the Body of Christ to the homebound and hospitalized: that they may be renewed through their service and be a support and a source of joy for those whom they serve: let us pray to the Lord.


For government leaders: that God will give them a new vision of how to address violence, firearms, and the use of force in our society: let us pray to the Lod.


For peace: that God will protect all who are caught in warfare or violence, bring an end to armed conflicts, and give strength to all who are working for peace: let us pray to the Lord.


[USA] For all fathers and those who have shown us a father’s love: that God will grant them peace and health, and help them give good example and a source of encouragement to their children: let us pray to the Lord.


For all who have died, particularly our fathers: that God will welcome to the eternal banquet and fill them with life and peace: let us pray to the Lord.


Hear our prayers, God of power, and through the ministry of your Son free us from the grip of the tomb, that we may desire you as the fullness of life and proclaim your saving deeds to all the world. Amen.
