SUNDAY, FEBRUARY 28, 2021 2ND SUNDAY OF LENT

PRIEST: In today’s second reading, St. Paul writes, “If God is for us, who can be against us?” Secure in the love of our merciful Father; let us turn to him with our needs and petitions.

1. For all who preach the gospel, may they live their lives with ears always open to the voice of Jesus, God’s beloved Son, leading and guiding them, we pray to the Lord.

3. For all gathered here, enlightened by the word of God, may we find and serve Christ in the poor and vulnerable among us, we pray to the Lord.

4. For the sick in our parish, may they know the care and compassion of God and live in dignity and comfort, we pray to the Lord.
