Corpus Christi
A prayer for Corpus Christi Sunday includes gratitude for the gift of the Eucharist, asking for unity in faith and love, and seeking strength to live out the teachings of Christ.
We also pray for those who feel unworthy to receive communion and for those who prepare the bread and wine for the Eucharist.
Loving God, you nourish your people with your word and with your body, hear our prayers, and continue to help us in our needs, through Christ our Lord. Amen.
On this feast of Corpus Christi, we pray for all who share the Bread of Life around the world, that we may be united in faith and love. Amen
Jesus, Bread of Life, feed our faith,
help us to share fairly,
to find joy in our differences, and to love one another as you have loved us. Amen.
Novena prayer to the Sacred Heart for Vocations
This Novena Prayer is to be recited from Sunday 22nd June, Corpus Christi, to Sunday, 29th June, The Solemnity of Sts. Peter & Paul:
Most Sacred Heart of Jesus, place those whom you are calling to be priests next to Your Heart. May they find refuge in Your Heart, and there, hear your invitation to love and serve. May their hope in Your Heart empower them to cast away all fears and worries. May this hope assist them to brighten lives of the faithful. May their love within Your Heart grow to serve You with great desire in every detail, and release this love with the open-hearted purpose of service for souls, seeing Christ in all, despite any sins or weaknesses. O Most Sacred Heart, increase their faith, hope, and love. O Lord of the harvest, send many faithful workers into your vineyard. Amen
