Priest:  Trusting in God’s providential care for our needs, we offer him our prayers.

• For the Church throughout the world, that all of us may be united by love of God and neighbor, let us pray to the Lord.
• For the unemployed, those who cannot work, and those who have no shelter, let us pray to the Lord.
• For veterans and all who have served our country, especially those still struggling with the consequences of combat, let us pray to the Lord.
• For an increase in vocations to the priesthood and religious life from our parish, let us pray to the Lord.
• For all present here before God’s altar, that the Holy Spirit may assist us in offering the Lord a sacrificial offering, let us pray to the Lord.
• For all those who have died — especially: N. —let us pray to the Lord.

Priest: Good and gracious God,
who provide for our needs in your boundless love,
graciously hear the prayers we have lifted up to you
and assist us to render faithful homage to you all our days.
Through Christ our Lord.
