Prayers of the faithful - 28th week in Ordinary Time - 16 October 2020

Lord Jesus - you are the Son of the Father.

Christ Jesus - you came as a servant

Lord Jesus - you love us with your sacred heart

As we honor St Mary Alocoque today, we present our prayers to our heavenly Father.
1. We pray for the Church: that we may recognize the length and depth of God’s love for us, and reach out to all who have become estranged from God or the Christian community.
2. We pray for leaders of all nations: that God, who reconciled the world to himself in Christ, may inspire the powerful of the earth to thoughts of peace and deeds of life and justice.
3. We pray for all recovering from floods, wildfires, or hurricanes: that God will give them strength, heal their wounds and fears, and speed the resources that they need to rebuild their lives.
4. We pray for the Gospel of Life during Respect Life Month - that we may respect all human life from the moment of conception to the moment of natural death.
5. We pray for all vocations in the Church - to the ordained ministry, lay ministry, and religious life.
6. For the sick and shut-in and for the repose of the souls of the faithful departed.
Heavenly Father, we present our prayers today through your son Jesus Christ, our Lord forever and ever.
