God knows the desires of our hearts and hears our prayers.
  • For all who shepherd the Church, heeding God’s will and seeking the power to carry it out, let us pray to the Lord: 
  • For current and past leaders of our nation, following the example of the presidents we remember this weekend, let us pray to the Lord: 
  • For all who strive to be faithful servants, sharing the good news of theGospel, let us pray to the Lord: 
  • For all who ardently search for wisdom and truth, let us pray to the Lord: 
  • For all in our faith community, especially those unable to join us today at this table of grace, let us pray to the Lord:
God, you understand our every need. Hear the prayers of all your faithful gathered here, through Christ our Lord, Amen.
