prayers of the faithful - 22 October 2021 - 29th week in ORDINARY TIME

 Lord Jesus, you gather the nations in justice and peace, Lord have mercy.

Christ Jesus, you come to us in word and in sacrament, Christ have mercy.

Lord Jesus, you will come again in glory, Lord have mercy.

Prayers of the faithful:

Priest:  God is aware of the needs of all people, so let us now present our prayer intentions with confidence:

1. For all the followers of Jesus, that we may grow in unity and charity.

2. For our governmental leaders, for wisdom in the way they govern.  

3. For the community that gathers here to worship God, that we may treat each other with care and respect, we pray to the Lord.

4. For our youth and children; may they all find the vocation to which God calls them.

5. For the sick and shut-in of our parish community. For healing and wholeness.

6. For the souls of the faithful departed, we pray to the Lord.  

Priest: Heavenly Father, you open wide your love and mercy to us. Hear the call of your people and be with us in our needs, through Christ, our Lord for ever and ever. Amen.
