Prayers of the faithful - Wednesday of the 12th week of Ordinary Time - 28 June 2023

Lord Jesus - you are the seat of justice. 

Christ Jesus - you are the light of the world. 

Lord Jesus - you are the beloved Son.  

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

1. For all who are facing trials and sufferings: that God’s healing Spirit will free them, open them to new sources of strength, and restore their lives.  We pray especially for those struggling with addictions, depression, and mental health issues.  

2. For healing for the sick and for strength to all medical professionals and for all who care for the sick. 

3. For our first responders and for the men and women in the military, in gratitude for their call and for the sacrifices they make, for their safety and for the well-being of their families.  

4. For all who are persecuted for their faith and for those who put themselves in danger as they spread the Gospel Message, particularly missionaries: that God will preserve them from harm and encourage them in their faith.  

5. For leaders of religion, government, and communities: that the Spirit will inspire them with ways to resolve the issues of injustice, violence, and domestic abuse, so that all may live in peace and safety.

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

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

With joy in our hearts, we present our prayers today through your Son Jesus Christ, our Lord forever and ever.
