3 September 2021 - prayers of the faithful - 22nd week of Ordinary time

Lord Jesus - you call us to repentance.  

Christ Jesus - you are the word of God.

Lord Jesus - you are the Son of the Father.

We present our prayers to our heavenly Father:

1. For peace: that the Holy Spirit will renew the dedication of those working for peace and help all to work together to defeat disease, ignorance, and poverty.

2. For the Church: that God will heal our deafness so that we may hear God’s invitations to service and recognize the cry of those who are suffering.

3. For a spirit of listening: that God will free us from the noise that blocks our ability to hear God’s Word. That we may prepare our hearts to receive his Word, and help us to put God’s vision for the future into practice.

4. For a deepening of compassion for others: that we may hear the cry of the poor, the physically and mentally challenged, and of the marginalized so that we may accompany them on their journey.

5. For those who are affected right now by natural disasters - from the hurricane in Louisiana and the gulf coast, from the floods in different parts of the country, from the wild fires out West.  For recovery and safety for those affected.

6. For healing for those in the hospital, the hospice, and the nursing home.  For all those affected by the COVID-19 pandemic.

We present these prayers thru your son Jesus Christ, our Lord forever and ever.  AMEN.
