Prayers of the faithful - Thursday of the 22nd week of Ordinary Time - 1 September 2021

Lord Jesus - you heal our brokenness. 

Christ Jesus - you bring us the love of the Father. 

Lord Jesus - you are the beloved Son. 

With humble hearts, we bring our prayers this morning to our heavenly Father:

1. For all who hand on the faith, particularly preachers, teachers, and parents: that they may share the faith clearly and convincingly, leading them into an experience of God’s great love.

2. For conversion from our hypocrisies: that we may recognize where we say one thing and live by another, so that we may come to greater integrity and wholeness. 

3. For all who are suffering from natural disasters, especially flooding, storms, drought, and brush fires, and for those assisting them: that God will help us to reach out to those affected.  We pray especially for those affected by the flooding of the Pearl river.  

4. For refugees and displaced persons: that God will guide them to safety, protect them on their journeys, and help them find welcome in new communities. 

5. For greater respect for and stewardship of earth’s resources: that we may treasure the natural resources that God has given us and wisely use them for the good of the human family

6. For healing for the sick and the shut-in, for the faithful departed, for their entry into eternal life.   

7. For the silent prayers we hold in our hearts.  

We present our prayers through your Son Jesus Christ, our Lord forever and ever. AMEN.
