20 September 2022 - prayers of the faithful - 25th SUNDAY in ORDINARY TIME

Lord Jesus - you call us into a family of believers. 

Christ Jesus - you call us to give thanks. 

Lord Jesus - you bring us hope. 

With generous hearts, we bring our prayers to our heavenly Father: 

1. For the Church: that we may be good stewards of the gifts that God has given us, use them for God’s glory, and never be possessed by our possessions

2. For the grace of diligence: that we may follow the commands of Christ and use our gifts and resources to feed the hungry, cloth the naked, and care for the sick

3. For wisdom: that the Spirit will guide us pursuing our goals and developing our abilities so that our endeavors may lead us into the fullness of life for all eternity

4. For gratitude: that we may appreciate all the gifts, opportunities, and benefits that we have been given and recognize them as signs of God’s love for us. 

5. For healing for the sick.  We pray especially for healing for those struggling with addictions and mental heath. 

6. For the faithful departed, for their entry into eternal life. 

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

We present these prayer with faith and hope to your son Jesus Christ, our Lord forever and ever.  AMEN.
