Prayers of the faithful - July 24, 2022 - 17th Sunday in Ordinary Time

Introduction: We gather today for Mass as those who have been raise with Christ by faith in the power of God.  Let us deepen our understanding our God’s word and pray for those in need.  

Lord Jesus - You died and rose again to save us from sin 

Christ Jesus - you teach us how to pray

Lord Jesus - in you, we find the path to holiness

Prayers of the faithful - 

Priest: Jesus assures us in today’s Gospel: Ask and you will receive.  As children of God, let us bring our needs before our Father in heaven:

1. For the Church, that we may imitate God’s generosity as we assist those in need, materially and spiritually, let us pray to the Lord: 

2. For our governmental leaders, that they may work toward the day when no one will be without daily bread, we pray to the Lord:

3. For those who have been affected by natural disaster, by drought, and through the heatwave in our country and throughout the world, that their suffering may be relieved, we pray to the Lord. 

4. That all who gather around the eucharistic table of the Lord may remember those not present, especially the sick and the homebound, we pray to the Lord.  

5. That our Church may deepen its persistence in prayer and its witness of the Gospel message, we pray to the Lord. 

6. That the nations of the world may seek peace, defend life, and practice mercy, we pray to the Lord.  

7. For the prayers we hold in the silence of our hearts, we pray to the Lord. 

Priest: Father of mercy, you are quick to forgive.  Help us to desire the good and to guide us to seek the truth.  We ask this through our Lord Jesus Christ, our Lord forever and ever.  AMEN.
