prayers of the faithful - 5 November 2021 - Friday of the 31st week in Ordinary Time

Lord Jesus - you are a light in the world - Lord have mercy. 

Christ Jesus - you call us to justice - Christ have mercy. 

Lord Jesus - you call us to serve our neighbor - Lord have mercy. 

We now bring our prayers to the God of justice and mercy:

1. For our Church, that Christians everywhere will work together for justice, unity and reconciliation.  

2. For our governmental leaders, that they may they lead and guide their people in wisdom and courage.  

3.  For our first responders, for the men and women in the military, for those who protect us and keep us safe. 

4. For our students, that their work, studies, rest, and play may always serve God’s glory.  

5. For the sick and shut-ins of our community, for healing and wholeness, for their caregivers and their families.  

6. For the repose of the souls of the faithful departed.  

7 . For our own prayer intentions in silence.

With humble hearts, we present these prayers to you through your son Jesus Christ, our Lord forever and ever.
