prayers of the faithful - 11 August 2021 - 19th week in Ordinary Time

Lord Jesus - you call us to holiness. 

Christ Jesus - you help us grow in our faith. 

Lord Jesus - you are the son of the Father. 

PRESIDER:   God is faithful to us from generation to generation.  We therefore present our concerns before God the Most High. 

1.  For the Church: that our profession of Jesus as the Christ may be manifest through giving our lives in service for others and in allowing God to raise us to new life. 

2.  For all Christians - may we find refuge and consolation in the cross of Christ. 

3.  For all who spend their lives serving others; emergency personnel, aid workers, missionaries, and members of the military: that God will guide them each day and protect them from harm. 

4.  For all who are burdened with illness and lack of hope, facing daily challenges of health and despair.  For all who are sick with the COVID-19 virus.  

5. For the repose of the souls of the faithful departed.  

Father, we thank you for making us members of your family. As you hear our prayers, may we extend your goodness to all our brothers and sisters. We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen.
