In confidence, let us now offer our prayers to God, the Lord who is “slow to anger and abounding in kindness”:
That our Church and parish family may pursue, with hope and determination, the possibilities for forgiveness and reconciliation in every relationship and experience: let us pray to the Lord.
That those who serve our Church as bishops, pastors, ministers, and teachers may speak the Word of God with joyful perseverance: let us pray to the Lord.
That all nations and peoples may work together to eradicate persecution, injustice, and hatred from our world: let us pray to the Lord.
The students and young people may, like the young Moses, respond to the call to become God’s messengers of compassion and reconciliation: let us pray to the lord.
That we may respond to God’s call to alleviate the suffering of the poor, to seek justice for the persecuted, and to come to the aid of the homeless and hungry: let us pray to the Lord.
That the souls of our deceased relatives [especially _________], will be welcomed by Christ into the presence of our Christ: let us pray to the Lord.
That the God of mercy will hear the prayers we now offer in the silence of our hearts [Pause...]: let us pray to the Lord.
Merciful God, hear the prayers of your people, who struggle, like the fig tree, to grow in the light of your love. As you are patient with us, may we be patient with one another; as your forgive us without condition or limits, may we forgive one another; as you hear our cries to you, may we hear the cries of one another. We make these prayers in the name of your Son, our Lord and Redeemer, Jesus Christ.
