Prayers of the Faithful:
Priest: We unite our prayers today with St Ignatius of Antioch and with all the community of saints.
1. On this feast of Ignatius of Antioch, we pray for for all of our Church leaders, especially Joseph Kopacz our Bishop and Pope Francis, for wisdom and courage as they lead and guide our Church. We pray for all those attending the Synod in Rome, that they be led by the Holy Spirit.
2. For a missionary spirit for all of us, that we may see ourselves as missionaries who bring the message of the Gospel to our little corner of the world.
3. For a spirit of vision for our communities and our nation, that our governmental leaders have a vision of leading us forward, in all are seen as integral parts of the community. We pray for peace in Israel and Ukraine and throughout the world.
4. For a spirit of action, that we may all practice peace and justice, as well as a respect for life and God’s creation in our words and our actions.
5. For a spirit of truth, that we may all look into our hearts and see the potential and vocation God has for us.
6. For a spirit of healing for the sick and shut-in of our parish and our community, for their care-givers and families.
7. For the prayers we hold in the silence of our hearts.
Priest: With humble hearts, we present these prayer thru your Son Jesus Christ, our Lord forever and ever. Amen.
