He said:

³ “Blessed are the poor in spirit,
    for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
⁴ Blessed are those who mourn,
    for they will be comforted.
⁵ Blessed are the meek,
    for they will inherit the earth.
⁶ Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness,
    for they will be filled.
⁷ Blessed are the merciful,
    for they will be shown mercy.
⁸ Blessed are the pure in heart,
    for they will see God.
⁹ Blessed are the peacemakers,
    for they will be called children of God.
¹⁰ Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness,
    for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

¹¹ “Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of me. ¹² Rejoice and be glad, because great is your reward in heaven, for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you.

Prayers of the Church
February 1, 2026

Lord Jesus Christ, You sat on a mountainside with Your disciples
and taught them incredible truth.

By Your Spirit, help us treasure Your Word in our hearts,
that we may act justly, love mercy, and walk humbly with our God. Lord, in Your mercy,

Lord Jesus Christ, grant Your inheritance
that can never perish, spoil, or fade to the gentle.

We give You thanks for the Baptism today of Noah Campos.
Through the gift of Your Spirit, strengthen him in his Baptism,
that he may rejoice daily as a child of God and serve You faithfully. Lord, in Your mercy,

Lord Jesus Christ, open the kingdom of heaven to the poor in spirit.

Be with those sick and hospitalized, those struggling with mental health,
those poor in strength of mind, body, and soul.
We pray especially for Julie Ezell, Karen, Jeffery Landry, Ron and Sheila May, those names written on our printed prayer lists, and those names written on our hearts…

You are our light and our salvation, our stronghold in life.
Be their refuge and strength. Lord, in Your mercy,

Lord Jesus Christ, comfort those who mourn.

We pray for the family and friends of Bill Powell, uncle of Brady and Nancy MacDonald
the family and friends of Daryl Hood,
the family and friends of Marilyn Wegener, mother of Kent Wegener,
and for the family and friends of the sister of Carol Guillame.

Strengthen the grieving in faith, that You are close to the brokenhearted
and save those crushed in spirit; and although we will have trouble in this world,
You have overcome the world. Lord, in Your mercy,

Lord Jesus Christ, bless and support the peacemakers.

We pray for good government and for those who uphold our laws – for President Trump, Governor Newsom, Mayor Slater; for our law enforcement, fire, and first responders; for our military, active and inactive; for judges and magistrates –
that all would learn to do right and to seek justice,
and together we would defend the oppressed, take up the cause of the fatherless,
and plead the case of the widow. Lord, in Your mercy,

Lord Jesus Christ, protect and guard the persecuted.

Be with Christian missionaries and congregations facing persecution.
Send Your holy angels to provide protection,
and give strength and encouragement through Your Holy Spirit.

Help us to remain strong when people insult us and speak evil of us because of the faith we have in Jesus. With St. Paul, may we delight in our weaknesses, insults, hardships, persecutions, and difficulties, and say, “Your grace is sufficient for us, and Your power is made perfect in weakness.” Lord, in Your mercy,

Into Your hands, we commend all for whom we pray,
trusting in Your mercy, through Jesus Christ, our Lord,
who lives and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever. Amen.
