25 August 2022 – Thursday of 21st week in Ordinary Time – prayers of the faithful

Lord Jesus - you call us to praise your name. 

Christ Jesus - you bring us God’s grace. 

Lord Jesus - you proclaim the kingdom of God. 

As we unite our prayers with the intercessions of the community of saints, let us present our prayers to our loving God:

1. For our Church leaders and governmental leaders: may the Lord give them wisdom and courage to address the difficult challenges we face as a Church and as a society. 

2. For our children and youth: that the Lord may accompany them in their studies and and their activities this school year. 

3. For families: that the Lord may lead them to healing and reconciliation in any conflicts or brokenness or damaged relationships they may be facing. 

4. For those battling addictions, dealing with anger management issues, or addressing mental health issues: May the Lord grant them wholeness and fortitude.  

5. For healing in body, mind, and spirit for the sick and the shut-in.  For Bishop Kopacz, who has been hospitalized with an infection.  

6. For the repose of the souls of the faithful departed, for their entry into eternal life.  For the souls in purgatory.  

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

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