prayers of the faithful - 2nd week in Ordinary Time - 18 January 2023

Lord Jesus - you are our priest, prophet, and king. 

Christ Jesus - you call us to be your disciples.  

Lord Jesus - you are our Savior and our Redeemer. 

Priest: Ever mindful that Jesus is always there for us, we now present our prayers to God with faith and hope: 

1. For all the members of Christ’s body and for the Church, that we may be faithful witnesses to the light of Christ in the world. 

2. For the leaders of this world, that they learn to listen for the voice of God as they lead the people in God’s wisdom and truth. 

3. For our first responders, for our medical professionals, and for the men and women serving in the military, that God may keep them safe and give them courage in their service. 

4. For the Gospel of Life, that we may respect human life and God’s creation in our words and our actions, and we pray that all children, born and unborn, may be protected in law and welcomed in love.

5. For our Holy Father’s Intention for January 2023: For educators
We pray that educators may be credible witnesses, teaching fraternity rather than competition and helping the youngest and most vulnerable above all.

6. For the sick and the dying - for the repose of the souls of the faithful departed.  

7. For the prayers we hold in the silence of our hearts.  

Priest: Heavenly Father, may we hear your voice and open our hearts to your will. Please help us to use our gifts and talents to love and serve others. We make these prayers through your son, for he is our Lord forever and ever. Amen.
