1 August 2023 - Tuesday of the 17th week of Ordinary Time - prayers of the faithful

Lord Jesus - You gather your flock - Lord have mercy. 

Christ Jesus - You are our savior and redeemer - Christ have mercy. 

Lord Jesus - You are the alpha and the omega, the beginning and the end - Lord have mercy. 

Priest: As we put our trust in God’s promises, let us present our concerns to him with confidence:

1. That all of us as followers of Christ may remain vigilant in prayer, in our service to others, and in our resistance to the ways of the world. 

2. That God may bless and inspire our president, our governor, our mayor, and our other governmental officials, that they may serve in integrity and justice. 

3. That all our children and youth have a blessed beginning to the new school year. May they feel the Lord leading them and guiding them in their studies and school activities. 

4. That the elderly and infirm, especially those who are lonely or homebound, may be treated with dignity, patience, and love. 

5. That we may be thankful for those who have passed down the faith to us and be conscientious of our responsibility to pass down the faith to future generations. 

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

6. For the prayers we hold in our hearts, both spoken and unspoken, we pray to the Lord. 

Priest: Generous God, as you refresh us with the nourishment we need, we ask that you hear the prayers that we make through your son Jesus Christ, our Lord forever and ever.  AMEN.
