Solemnity of Our Lord Jesus Christ, King of the Universe

For Leo, our Pope, and ___, our Bishop. May leaders of faith companion all who ache for justice. May hope be born upon our earth.

We pray to the Lord.

For Christian unity. May Christ, our King bring us into harmony and justice. May we live the story of Christ’s passion, death and resurrection together in peace.

We pray to the Lord.  

For all international leaders. May all who govern nations know Christ’s call for concord upon the earth. May respect and human dignity be restored.

We pray to the Lord.

For the well-being of our planet. May we dedicate our lives for the good of the earth. For clean air and water and sufficient food for the starving.

We pray to the Lord.

For people who thirst for mercy. May Christ’s forgiveness and peace become our daily food. May all who live in turmoil and heartache find solace in Christ, our King.

We pray to the Lord.

For people who have been unjustly condemned.  May all people find true freedom and inner peace. May we work diligently for people who survive in our prisons.

We pray to the Lord.

For people who suffer depression and anxiety. May Christ, our King become a source of peace for all who suffer diseases of the mind and soul. May we comfort family members with kindness and all good.

We pray to the Lord.

For people who struggle to make sense out of life. May we surrender to Christ, our King, who calls us into love and fidelity. May our suffering find an end in the redeeming love of Christ Jesus.

We pray to the Lord.

For our beloved dead and for all who grieve. May the end of our liturgical year help us grieve our loved ones. May our beloved dead be remembered in Christ’s suffering and in his entry into eternal life.

We pray to the Lord.
