Prayers of the faithful - Wednesday of the 16th week in Ordinary Time - 20 July 2022

Lord Jesus - You teach us with your parables. 

Christ Jesus - You are a light shining in the darkness of the world. 

Lord Jesus - You are our savior and our redeemer.  

With joy in our hearts, we present our prayers to our heavenly Father: 

1. For our church and governmental leaders, that they will fulfill their duties with integrity, justice, and good will. 

2. For freedom of spirit: that God will free us from fear, attachments, and wounds, so that we may fully respond to all that God asks of us

3. For a new encounter with the Lord: that through prayer and reflection on Sacred Scripture, we may enter into a deeper relationship with Christ. 

4. For all who have been the victims of crime and violence: that God will restore their loss, heal their wounds, and help them to trust others again. 

5. For all who care for those in need: that those working in outreach ministries,  housing assistance, healthcare, pregnancy centers, or refugee services may continue to bring God’s love and compassion to those whom they serve. 

6. For all who are ill or recovering from surgery: that they may know the tender touch of God through the prayer and care of this community. 

7. For the prayers we hold in our hearts today. 

In hope, we present these prayers through your Son Jesus Christ, our Lord forever and ever.  AMEN.
