Like the couple in Cana, we invite the Lord Jesus, Mary, and the apostles to our celebration. We invoke their names as we turn to God in prayer.
  • For Christian unity, that all may be one, as Jesus prayed, let us pray to the Lord: 
  • For all nations, races, and religious groups, that Martin Luther King’s dream of peace is fulfilled among us, let us pray to the Lord: 
  • For lawmakers and healthcare workers that they work to protect the sanctity of life, let us pray to the Lord: 
  • For the unemployed and underemployed, that they find work with a living wage, let us pray to the Lord: 
  • For this community, that we heed Mary’s call to do whatever Jesus tells us, let us pray to the Lord:
Heavenly Father, you give us your Son in the Eucharist. Strengthen us through this sacrament to do your will on earth. We ask this through Christ our Lord, Amen.
