Prayers of the faithful - feast day of St Augustine - August 28 2018

Lord Jesus - you are the holy one of God - Lord have mercy. 
Christ Jesus - you call out to us in our need - Christ have mercy. 
Lord Jesus - you call us to follow you without reservation - Lord have mercy. 

PRIEST: As God’s People on earth, let us unite our prayers with all the saints in heaven for our needs, the needs of the Church, and the needs of the world .
1. For the Holy Catholic Church, the joyful mother of St Augustine and the company of saints, may she bring all her children to the Kingdom of God, let us pray to the Lord.
All: Lord, hear our prayer.
2. For Pope Francis and all bishops, clergy and lay leaders, may they continue to help others grow in wisdom of their faith through the teaching of the Gospels, let us pray to the Lord.
All: Lord, hear our prayer.
3. That all people of goodwill may receive true life and abiding peace through the redeeming Blood of Christ, let us pray to the Lord.
All: Lord, hear our prayer.
4. For those who suffer persecution for their faith and righteousness, may they continue steadfastly in the way of the saints who walked before them, let us pray to the Lord.
All: Lord, hear our prayer.
5. That in offering and receiving the Eucharist we may respond to God’s universal call to holiness, let us pray to the Lord.
All: Lord, hear our prayer.
6. For the sick and shut-ins, for the repose of the souls of the faithful departed, we pray to the Lord. 
All:  Lord, hear our prayer. 
7. As we celebrate St Augustine today, we pray for all catechists and theologians, for their studies in the faith and for the faith and knowledge they teach us, we pray to the Lord. 
All: Lord her our prayer.  
PRIEST: Father of grace, we offer our petitions with the prayers of
St Augustine and all the Saints, confident in your mercy revealed in their heroic lives. We ask this through Christ our Lord.
All: Amen.
