Prayers of the faithful - Wednesday of the 21st week in Ordinary Time - 30 August 2023

Lord Jesus - You are the beloved son of the Father, Lord have mercy. 

Christ Jesus - You endured the passion of the cross, Christ have mercy. 

Lord Jesus - You are seated at the right hand of the Father, Lord have mercy. 

Priest: In our weaknesses and brokenness, we come before God as we trust that our prayers will be heard. 

1. For the prophets of our modern world, that they may persevere as they bring God's message to the world, we pray to the Lord. 

2. For nations and communities who are divided by war, violence, or conflicts, that they may work hard toward healing and peace, we pray to the Lord. 

3. For those we have been affected by natural disasters such as fires, floods, drought, heatwave, tornados, and storms, that they find strength and encouragement in the midst of their losses and their sufferings, we pray to the Lord. 

4. For all who gather around the Eucharistic table of the Lord, that they may find hope and deeper faith that they may share with others, we pray to the Lord. 

5. For the sick and the shut-in, that they may feel God’s healing presence, we pray to the Lord. 

6. For the prayers we hold in our hearts, both spoken and unspoken, we pray to the Lord. 

Priest:  Heavenly Father, you are the source of power and might.  We ask that you hear our heartfelt prayers that we make in the name of your son Jesus Christ, our Lord forever and ever.  AMEN.
