Prayers of the Faithful
Prayers of the Faithful
December 7th, 2025
When the Lord comes again, he will bring salvation for his people. With confidence we place our needs before God.
- For God’s blessings upon our parish’s efforts to win new disciples for the Lord and to bring back those Catholics who do not regularly come to Eucharist, let us pray to the Lord.
- For the leaders of our Church, that they may guide us well in the ways of faith and help us prepare for the coming of Christ, 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.
- That the Prince of Peace might bring an end to the culture of violence in our country, and protect persecuted Christians in Nigeria and throughout the world, let us pray to the Lord.
- For peace among the nations—and especially for the success of the peace efforts in the Ukraine—let us pray to the Lord.
- For those caught up in the secularization of our holidays: that they may be influenced by people of Faith to discover Christ in Christmas, let us pray to the Lord.
- For Fr. Michael on the occasion of his anniversary of ordination, and for an increase in vocations to the priesthood, let us pray to the Lord.
- We’ll take a moment in silent prayer now for the intentions of the person around us…let us pray to the Lord.
- For all the sick, and for those who care for them, remembering especially…
Mary Bortz Chris Brennan Richard Little
Mary Raymond Ed Theisen
…let us pray to the Lord.
- For those who have gone before us, marked with the sign of faith, remembering especially Terry Spisak, Nicolas Peters, John Donaldson, and Fr. Gary Tierney,
let us pray to the Lord.
Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, we glorify you with one heart and voice. Bind us in perfect unity as we present our prayers and petitions in the name of your Son, who, with you and the Holy Spirit, live and reign, God, forever and ever. Amen.
