Prayers of the Faithful for March 10 & 11, 2018

Presider:

We are called by God’s love to live in the light of Christ. Let us pray that we and others might remember and live as we have been called.

Reader:  

For the Church: that we will grow in our awareness of the length, breadth, and depth of God’s love for us, we pray:

For a greater realization of God’s goodness: that we may recognize everything as a gift and open our hearts to the many gifts God wants to give us, we pray:

For all who serve the greater good whether in the military, in diplomacy, or in humanitarian relief: that God will guide and protect them and bring them home safely, we pray:

For all whose lives are darkened by addiction; that the light of the Gospel may open a new path before them, we pray:

For all who seek to grow in their faith, for those in RCIA, and all in religious education programs: that they may come to know Christ more each day and express their faith through deeds of light, we pray:

For the sick and suffering in our community, including: Florence Larsgaard. For all who suffer, we pray:

For those who have died and for grieving families, especially John Hoffman, the son of Joanne Hoffman; Robert Lager, the father of Mark Lager; Cecilia Asleson, the sister of Sam Ocel; Consor Holgado, the mother of Angelica Vang; Debbie Adams, the wife of Alan Adams. May they find comfort in God’s love, we pray:

Presider: 

Loving God, help us to live in Christ’s light. May we reflect his endless love and mercy toward all those who cross our paths. Amen.
