Prayers of the faithful - July 31, 2022 - 18th Sunday in Ordinary Time

Introduction: The Holy Spirit draws us to Mass today to listen to God’s living word, to receive the Lord in the Eucharist, and to give praise and thanks to God. 

Lord Jesus, you are our lasting treasure. 

Christ Jesus, you call us to shout our resources with the poor. 

Lord Jesus, you lead us to everlasting life. 

Prayers of the faithful:

Priest: Let us seek with matters to God with generous hearts.  We now pray for our needs, the needs of our brothers and sisters, and the needs of the Church:

1. For the Church, that we may be a model of generosity, freely giving of our abundance to all in need, we pray to the Lord. 

2. For the leaders of the nations, that we may be inspired to share our resources with those who suffer in poverty, we pray to the Lord. 

3. For an end to terrorism, war, and violence. For healing and reconciliation in our families, our communities, and our nation, we pray to the Lord. 

4. That all of us may seek wisdom, guidance, and understanding in God’s holy word, we pray to the Lord.  

5. For healing for the sick and the afflicted in body, mind and spirit, for those who are suffering from addictions and mental illness we pray to the Lord. 

6. For our students, families, and teachers who are starting the new school year.  May the Lord bless their studies and all their school activities, we pray to the Lord.  

6. For the prayers we hold in the silence for our hearts, we pray to the Lord. 

Priest: God of holiness, you lovingly renew our minds and our spirits.  We seek your mercy as we offer our prayers through your son Jesus Christ, our Lord forever and ever. AMEN.
