19 July 2023 - prayers of the faithful - Wednesday of the 15th week in Ordinary Time

Lord Jesus - you call us to be missionary in spirit

Christ Jesus - you call us to holiness

Lord Jesus - you are the beloved Son of the Father 

God answers those who approach him in prayer. Let us now present our needs, the needs of the Church, and the needs of our brothers and sisters:

1. That our Church leaders and all the faithful possess a missionary spirit.  

2. For missionaries and for all men and women of faith who witness to the Gospel throughout the world, that their example of love and mercy will guide the Church in missionary discipleship. 

3. For our first responders, the men and women in the military, and our medical professionals. For those who keep us safe in society. 

4. For our children and youth, for the vocation to which God calls them.  That God may accompany their thru their summer activities. That the Holy Spirit be with them as they start the new school year. 

5. For the sick and shut-ins.  For the repose of the souls of the faithful departed.  

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

As we bring these prayers of petition to you, O Lord, may our faith be strengthened and may we find the courage to proclaim your Word. We ask this through Christ our Lord forever and ever. Amen.
