prayers of the faithful - Tuesday of the 14th week in ORDINARY TIME - 5 JULY 2022

Lord Jesus - you bring us salvation. 

Christ Jesus - you proclaim justice. 

Lord Jesus - you call your Church to be a prophet in the modern world. 

The Lord’s mercy never ends, so we present our prayers to God with confidence.

1. For the leaders of the Church, that they may sincerely and fully live the message they preach. 

2. For those who are unwilling to recognize God’s mercy, that they may know the welcome extended to those who repent and who are contrite. 

3. For those on the margins of society, for men and women who are exploited, that justice and hope may prevail in our land. 

4. For those who endure sickness, in mind or body or spirit, that the support of the Christian community and their family and friends remind them of God’s healing care. 

5. For all the faithful departed, that they may be raised to life through Jesus’ resurrection.  We pray also for the souls in purgatory in a process of purification. 

6. For all the prayers we hold in our hearts today. 

God of endless goodness, your love and compassion have no end.  We ask that you hear the prayers that your people make in faith, through Jesus Christ our Lord forever and ever. AMEN.
