PRESIDER: With all the trust of the Paralytic’s friends in the Gospel, let us bring before the Lord the needs of the Church. For every prayer let us say:
FORGIVING GOD, HEAR YOUR PEOPLE.
1. That the Catholic Church will humbly offer forgiveness and strength to all who go astray and become in the world a sign and instrument of reconciliation. We pray.
2. That our duly elected government officials will turn away from every temptation to greed, violence and the abuse of power and seek the things that would heal the country. We pray.
3. That all the families in our community who are broken and divided by misunderstandings or wounded by the refusal to forgive and be forgiven will be repaired and healed by the love that ever streams from the Eucharistic Heart of Christ. We pray.
4. That doctors and nurses especially here in our city and all those whom God called to study and practice the arts of healing the sick and the prevention of disease and pain will be strengthened physically and spiritually. We pray
5. That our community will become less concerned about rights and offended pride but rather give Christ’s love a fair chance to grow among us and to create us anew. We pray.
7. That our sisters and brothers who have died especially the members of our family may enjoy peace and happiness in the Lord’s eternal kingdom. We pray.
8. In the silence in our hearts, let us offer our personal intentions to the Lord.
PRESIDER: Loving Father, in this life and the next, our hope is in you. Grant our petitions as we praise you for your forgiveness and love through Christ our Lord forever and ever. Amen.
