Prayers of the Faithful

With faith and trust in the providence of God, we lift our voices before the Author of Life.
- For the spread of the Gospel, that we may take seriously the call to evangelize, let us pray to the Lord.
- That God will bless the leaders of the Church: the Holy Father, and all bishops, priests and deacons, that they may boldly proclaim the Gospel of Life, let us pray to the Lord.
- For government officials: that they may enact laws that more and more align with the values of the Kingdom, let us pray to the Lord.
- For a return to civility in our political discussions and an end to all divisions and discord, let us pray to the Lord.
- For an end to the culture of violence in our country and for the victims of that violence, let us pray to the Lord.
- For peace throughout the world, and for the success of efforts to end the conflicts in Gaza and the Ukraine, let us pray to the Lord.
- For an increase in vocations to the priesthood, and that those called may respond willingly with trust in the one who calls them, let us pray to the Lord.
- We’ll take a moment in silent prayer now for the intentions of the persons around us… let us pray to the Lord.
- For all the sick, and for those who care for them, remembering especially…

Lord God, with deep confidence in your never-failing providence, we place our hope in you to restore all things in your love. We bring our petitions before you in the name of Jesus Christ our Lord, who with you and the Holy Spirit, live and reign, God, forever and ever. Amen.
