Prayer Petitions For December 23, 2017

Read My 2017 Reflection
First Week of Advent: Hope
Second Week of Advent: Faith
Third Week of Advent: Joy

We encourage everyone to post your Daily Prayer Petitions in the Comments section below. Together we pray as one Catholic Family for our intentions and the intentions of the Pope. Let us also pray for the suffering souls in Purgatory.

To Christ our Lord, who humbled himself for our sake, we joyfully say:
Come, Lord Jesus!

Lord Jesus, by your coming you rescued the world from sin,
— cleanse our souls and bodies from guilt.
Come, Lord Jesus!

By the mystery of your incarnation we are made your brothers and sisters,
— do not let us become estranged from you.
Come, Lord Jesus!

Do not judge harshly,
— those you redeemed with such great cost.
Come, Lord Jesus!

No age, O Christ, is without your goodness and holy riches,
— enable us to merit the unfading crown of glory.
Come, Lord Jesus!

Lord, to you we commend the souls of your departed servants,
— having died to the world, may they be alive in you for ever.
Come, Lord Jesus!
