Prayer FOR THE CHURCH …

Oh Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior, we come before you with heads bowed in humble awe and reverence. You present to us a most remarkable mystery, for you are both divine and human! Through you, all things were created in heaven and on earth; still, you deigned to come here as our Brother to live in lowliness, and to

suffer and die for our sins on the cross. All this you did because of your great love for us poor sinners! How can our mortal lips sing all the praise that is due your holy, saving name?

As members of your kingdom by faith, we long to see the day when you will come again to take us to heaven. Oh, the glory of that day when we will hear the sound of your voice calling the dead from their graves! How we long to behold your majesty as you invite the faithful to share joys and pleasures that last forever! Until that day,

intercede to the Father in our behalf for all our needs. Be ever near to guard and defend, to heal and make us whole, to cheer and comfort us, to lend us your aid, to forgive us, and grant us victory over temptation. All praise to our God forever: to you and the Father and the Holy Spirit. Amen.
