27 August 2025 - prayers of the faithful - Wednesday of the 21st week in Ordinary Time

Lord Jesus - you are the prince of peace. 

Christ Jesus - you proclaim justice to the nations. 

Lord Jesus - you proclaim your Good News. 

Priest: In humility and simplicity of heart, we present our prayers to our heavenly Father: 

1. We pray that the Lord will renew the spirits of our Church leaders, including Pope Leo XIV and Bishop Joseph Kopacz, giving them the inspiration to lead the people of God. 

2. For healing and assistance for those recovering from natural disasters, including floods and wildfires. 

3. For all who have died and for those who are grieving them.

4. That God will transform hardened hearts and closed minds. 

5. For an end to violence and bloodshed. For peace and reconciliation. 

5. That we in the Church may persistently seek greater holiness, reaching beyond the letter of God’s law. 

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

Priest: We present our prayers today through your son Jesus Christ, our Lord forever and ever. AMEN.
