Prayers of the Faithful


Prayers of the Faithful

March 1st, 2025


Jesus was transfigured before the eyes of the disciples, to strengthen them through the struggles ahead. With confidence in him, let us pray for the Church—and the world. 


  • For the Archdiocese of Detroit: that we all may embrace the vision given us to “Unleash the Gospel”, and for God’s blessings upon our efforts to restructure the Archdiocese: that the process may be peaceful and full of grace, let us pray to the Lord. 
  • For our bishops and all those who exercise spiritual authority, let us pray to the Lord. 
  • For our government and its officials, and for a return to civility within our political discussions, let us pray to the Lord. 
  • For peace throughout the world, remembering especially the military situation in Iran, and for the safety of our servicemen and women, let us pray to the Lord.
  • For those inquiring into the Faith, and especially for our own catechumens and candidates preparing to receive Easter Sacraments at the end of this Lent, let us pray to the Lord. 
  • For the great success of our offertory campaign “Committed to Christ—Giving Gratefully”—AND that those families who have fallen away from the full practice of their Faith will be drawn back to share the Eucharist with us, let us pray to the Lord.
  • That the gospel’s vision of glory, given to the disciples, might encourage US to persevere in our Lenten efforts, let us pray to the Lord. 
  • For the intentions that have been requested by our parishioners:
    for the sick, for the healing of family relationships, for people that need to come to know the Lord, and for all the many other intentions, 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…

…let us pray to the Lord. 

Transcendent God, we offer you our humble prayers. Give us the vision to help us persevere in our Lenten journey. We ask this in the name of Jesus, who is Lord forever and ever. Amen.
