Petitions for Pentecost Sunday Celebrating Our Immigrant Community


     

For our world
May the Spirit renew the face of the earth, and lead us to build peace in war-torn nations which cause people to flee as refugees in order to overcome the negation of life. We pray to the Lord.

For our Church
May our we, through our ministries, continue to proclaim the Gospel truth that sets us free so that we can overcome any cultural fears that may keep us from forming community. We pray to the Lord.

For a call to solidarity with the immigrant communities
May we continue to commit ourselves to promote the human rights of all, regardless of immigration status, and to advance fair legislation for asylum seekers, refugees, and immigrants. We pray to the Lord.

For continued evangelization
May each of us continue to spread the holy fire of the Gospel through hospitality in our lives by opening our hearts and minds to all of our neighbors in need. We pray to the Lord.

For the sick and those who suffer
May they experience God’s saving touch through the care and concern we show to them. We pray to the Lord.

In thanksgiving for the gifts of the Spirit
May we give thanks to the Lord for the gifts of the Spirit, and may those gifts bring unity in our diversity by forming us into the one body of Christ. We pray to the Lord.

For the dead
May they live forever in the heavenly community of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. We pray to the Lord
