PRAYERS OF THE PEOPLE


Bound together in Christ in the communion of the Holy Spirit, let us pray with one heart and mind to God our Father.

Father we pray for peace from on high and for our salvation.

Lord Jesus Christ, we ask for the peace of the whole world, for the welfare of the holy churches of God, and for the unity of all.

For this holy gathering and for those who enter with faith, reverence, and fear of God, Holy Spirit bless us with you truth.

We pray for the world and its leaders, our nation and its people.

For all those in need, the suffering and the oppressed, travelers and prisoners, the dying and the dead; for ourselves, our families, and those we love, we lift to you in silent and out loud prayer.

Remembering our most glorious and Blessed Virgin Mary and all the saints, let us offer ourselves and one another to the living Father through Christ. Blessed are you, O Lord our God, who created all things by your eternal Word. Hear the prayers we offer this day and breathe upon us with your Spirit; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
