Prayers of the faithful - 11th week in Ordinary Time- 18 June 2021

Lord Jesus, you call us to simplicity of heart.

Christ Jesus, you call us be a light in the world.

Lord Jesus - you call us to trust you.  

As Jesus calls us to have faith, let us present our prayers to our Heavenly father:

1. We pray that in moments of fear, doubt, and despair, we will recall the word of the Lord and place our trust in his love and goodness.

2.  We pray for Pope Francis, Bishop Kopacz and all our Church leaders, that they be inspired by the Spirit to be a brave and trusted navigators of our Church.  We pray for our US bishops who are meeting virtually this week.  

3. We pray for those who are unemployed or those seeking new work,  that the Lord may lead them and guide them in their vocation.

4. For our first responders, our medical professionals, and the men and women in the military.  For their safety and in thanksgiving for their sacrifices.  

5. For our stewardship of the environment and for the fruits of the land, and for those affected by the droughts out West.

6. For the sick and the shut-ins - for the repose of the souls of the faithful departed.  

7. For those prayers we hold in our hearts today.  

Heavenly Father, we thank you for your loving help and guidance through the storms of life. We make this prayer through Jesus Christ, our Lord forever and ever.  Amen.
