Lord Jesus - you call us to learn more about our faith
Christ Jesus - you are a light shining in the world
Lord Jesus - you reached out to the poor and the oppressed
As we celebrate the feast day of St Augustine today, we present our prayers to our heavenly Father
1. For all of our governmental leaders - that hey will dedicate themselves to justice, authentic freedom, and the generous defense of the poor.
2. That God give us the strength to discern his divine will and reject the false promises of this age.
3. That God grant our Church leaders wisdom and courage as they lead the people of God.
4. For those affected by natural disasters, especially Hurricane Laura here in the South and the wildfires out West.
5. For blessings on all students, teachers, and administrators as they begin a new school year.
6. For an increase of vocations to the priesthood and to consecrated life.
7. For the sick and shut in, and for the repose of the souls of the faithful departed.
8. For those prayers we hold in our hearts today.
Heavenly Father, we unite our prayers with the prayers of St Augustine today. We present these prayers through your son Jesus Christ, our Lord for ever and ever. AMEN.
