26 May 2026 - prayers of the faithful for Tuesday of the 8th week of ordinary time

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

Christ Jesus - you proclaim the justice of God’s kingdom. 

Lord Jesus - you are our savior and redeemer. 

Priest: With joyful and humble hearts, we bring our prayers to our heavenly Father: 

1. That our Church leaders help us to give witness to the Gospel message in the world. 

2. That the nations of the world practice justice, humility, and compassion. 

3. That we Christians embody the spirit of God’s love in the world. 

4. For the sick and the afflicted. For those in the hospital, the hospice, and the nursing home. 

5. For those who have died and for those who are suffering because of war and violent conflict throughout the world. May the Spirit of truth prevail so that reconciliation and peace become a reality.

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

Priest: Loving God, you are just in your ways and loving in your deeds. May we be loving as you are as we work for unity and peace under the guidance of the Holy Spirit. Through Jesus Christ our Lord forever and ever. AMEN.
