Prayer for the Faithful

With the help of Mary, the Mother of his beloved Son, let us pray to God our
Father and let us say: Lord hear your prayer.

For the Church of Jesus Christ on earth,

which is a community of sinful people
called to be saints by the grace of God
that in us the power of God’s goodness may become visible through our human
love,
Let us pray to the Lord: Lord hear your people.

For priests and for all those

Whose task is to preach the Good News,
That they keep proclaiming to the world
That God’s grace has destroyed the mystery of sin,
Let us pray to the Lord: Lord, hear your people.

For the world, that evil which appears in it many forms

May be overcome by our love
And our commitment to justice and peace.
Let us pray to the Lord: Lord, hear your people.

For ourselves and those dear to us,

That the good there is in us,
May be stronger than evil in and around us.
Let us pray to the Lord: Lord, hear your people.

That the birthday celebrants of the month of December especially to Ms. Mary
Rose Limon, Mrs. Marlyn Laberinto, and her daughter, may the Lord grant them
with strength, power and good health.
Let us pray to the Lord: Lord, hear your people.

God of all grace, your plans with the world and with people surpass all our
expectations. Keep us trusting in the power of your saving love. Like Mary, may
we give to the world your Son, Jesus Christ our Lord.
Amen
