18 February 2022 - prayers of the faithful - sixth week of Ordinary Time

Lord Jesus, you raise us to new life: Lord, have mercy.

Lord Jesus, you forgive us our sins: Christ, have mercy.

Lord Jesus, you feed us with your body and blood: Lord, have mercy.

With faith and hope, we bring our prayers to our heavenly Father:

Priest: We bring our prayers to the God of compassion and love, who is rich in mercy.

1. For an end to war and violence, especially in our local communities where there is a lot of crime, and between Russia and Ukraine. 

2. For people who need healing and wholeness and their lives — that they may forgive and make peace.

3. For those who are battling addictions, for those struggling with depression and mental health issues.  For wholeness and healing.  

4. For the gift of compassion — that we may treat others as we wish to be treated. 

5. For those are sick, at home, in hospital, and in the nursing home.  For healing body, mind and spirit.  

6. For our loved ones and family members who have entered enteral life.  For the souls in purgatory.  

Priest: God of love and compassion, looking lovingly on your people and grant us your gracious help, through Jesus Christ our Lord forever and ever.  Amen.
