prayers of the faithful - Monday of the 29th week in Ordinary Time - 17 October 2022

 Lord Jesus - you are our hope. 

Christ Jesus - you are our strength. 

Lord Jesus - you are our Savior. 

In faith and hope, we present our prayers to our heavenly Father. 

1. We pray for a deeper commitment to the stewardship of our planet. May we find ways to safeguard and care for the earth and her resources for our children and future generations.

2. For all in special need. For those who suffer from anxiety or worry. For those who struggle through illness, death or grief. 

3. For the grace of true conversion, that we in the Church may address the needs of our world, not only with words, but with determination and action.

4. May we turn away from self-righteous attitudes. We pray, Lord, that you free us from the need to control, from pride and selfishness. May we learn to serve others with love, patience and humility.

5. For those who have turned away from virtue, that their spirits may be healed and that they be drawn toward fuller life of faith and a deeper recognition of how they hurt themselves and others.

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

Heavenly Father, we present our prayers this evening through your son Jesus Christ, our Lord forever and ever.  AMEN.
