prayers of the faithful - feast day of St Martin de Porres - 3 November 2022 - Thursday of the 31st week in ORDINARY TIME

Lord Jesus - you are the word of God. 

Christ Jesus - you call us to carry our crosses. 

Lord Jesus - you are our Savior and Redeemer.  

As we journey together in faith, and as we celebrate St Martin de Porres today and his spirit of social justice, we present our prayers to our heavenly Father: 

1. We pray for our Church leaders and our governmental leaders as the lead us during these challenging times.  For wisdom and courage for them.  We pray for our national election which is coming up next week.    

2. For those who are persecuted for their faith and gave up their lives for the faith.  May the Lord lead, guide and protect those who are discriminated against, condemned and attacked for their faith.  

3. In honor of St Martin de Porres, we pray that all of us may work for justice in the reality of our lives and to bring about greater understanding and collaboration between different cultures and nations.  

4. For unity and solitary in our nation and throughout the world.  

5. For the sick and shut-ins, for all who need healing in their lives. 

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

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

As we unite our prayers with the prayers of St Martin de Porres today, we present our prayers through your Son Jesus Christ, our Lord forever and ever.  AMEN.
