prayers of the faithful - 29 January 2025 - Wednesday of the 3rd week in Ordinary Time

Lord Jesus - you call us to have faith in you.

Christ Jesus - you call us to trust you on our journey. 

Lord Jesus - you call us to God’s love.

Priest: The Lord is at our side to support us and to guide us. Let us present our needs to God with confidence and hope.

1. That all Christians may be found ready when the Savior comes again in glory.

2. That our Church leaders may be faithful messengers of God’s healing and forgiveness.

3. For those who live in fear or anxiety, for those who struggle with addictions, depression, and mental illness, that God’s consoling word may be their support.

4. For the bereaved, whether their loss was recent or many years ago, that they may find healing and wholeness in their lives.

5. For those who suffer, in body, mind or spirit, that God’s powerful presence may help them to stand firm and bring healing into their lives.

6. For the faithful departed, that they may awake to everlasting life. We pray especially for the souls in purgatory.

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

Priest: O Lord, you are our portion and our cup. You support us all the days of our lives.  We ask that you hear the prayers we make for all your Church and for those in need, though Jesus Christ our Lord forever and ever. AMEN.
