8 August 2023 - prayers of the faithful - Tuesday of 18th week in Ordinary Time

Lord Jesus - you call us to holiness. 

Christ Jesus - you help us grow in our faith. 

Lord Jesus - you are the beloved son of the Father. 

PRESIDER:   God is faithful to us from generation to generation.  We therefore present our concerns before God the Most High. 

1.  The the Church’s profession of Jesus as the beloved Son of God may be manifest through the way we give our lives in service for others and through the way we invite God to raise us to new life. 

2.  That all Christians may we find refuge and inspiration in the cross of Christ. 

3.  For all emergency personnel, aid workers, missionaries, and members of the military: that God will guide them each day and protect them from harm in their service to society. 

4.  For all who are burdened with illness and lack of hope, facing daily challenges of health and despair.  For healing and wholeness. 

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

6. For the prayers we hold in the silence of our hearts. 

Heavenly Father, we thank you for making us members of your family. As you hear our prayers, may we extend your goodness to all our brothers and sisters. We ask this through Christ our Lord forever and ever. Amen.
