26 August 2022 – Friday of the 21st week in Ordinary Time – prayers of the faithful

Lord Jesus - you teach us through parables.  

Christ Jesus - you call us to always be prepared. 

Lord Jesus - you are our savior and our redeemer.  

As we strive to be prepared always, we present our prayers this morning to our loving and merciful God: 

1. For the Gospel of Life: that we respect human life in all its facets in our words and our actions each day. 

2. For a missionary spirit: As we pray for missionaries and for all who spread the Gospel message in our Diocese, we pray that all of us may see ourselves as missionaries in our own corner of the world. 

3. For hope for hopeless, for peace for those dealing anger and conflict, for wisdom for those who are searching, for reconciliation for those who are finding it difficult to forgive. 

4. For healing for the sick in mind, body, and spirit. 

5. For the faithful departed, for their entry into eternal life. 

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

As we strive to praise you, O Lord, and as we prepare for Christ’s second coming, we present these prayer through your son, our Lord forever and ever. AMEN.
