Celebrant:
This special season focuses our minds on the Lord's coming. As we invite Him into our lives, let us present to Him all our needs.
Deacon/Lector:
That the Church may effectively prepare the world for the coming of the Son of Man, and for the peace that His coming brings, we pray to the Lord ...
That leaders of government may find instruction in the Word of the Lord and work tirelessly for that justice which is the foundation of peace, we pray to the Lord ...
That all of us gathered here will look for the coming of the Lord in every moment of our lives, we pray to the Lord …
That the Lord who comes to conquer death may bestow eternal life and joy on all our brothers and sisters who have died, especially Andrew Giannotti, Susan Midili, Anthony Sousa, and John Sousa Sr. (and ___________________) and all the souls in Purgatory especially those whose names are listed by the Tabernacle, we pray to the Lord...
Celebrant:
Father,
as our salvation draws nearer,
fill us with the joy that comes
from being faithful to You.
We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen.
