Prayers of the faithful - 25 October 2023 - Wednesday of the 29th week in Ordinary Time

Lord Jesus - you bring us new life through the waters of baptism. 

Christ Jesus - you are the life and the resurrection. 

Lord Jesus - you forgive the sins of the contrite. 

Priest: With respect and humility, we prayer our prayers this morning to our Heavenly Father. 

1. For respect life month in the month of October, that Pope Francis and our Church leaders may lead us to a greater respect for human life from the moment of conception to the moment of natural death. 

2. For Pope Francis’ prayer intention for the month of October: For the Synod, that the Church may adopt listening and dialogue as a lifestyle at every level, and allow herself to be guided by the Holy Spirit towards the peripheries of the world.

3. For all missionaries, catechists, and teachers of religious education, that they may be encouraged as their form others in the faith. 

4. For an end to racism and prejudice: that God will turn hearts and change minds so that all human beings may be respected and their dignity affirmed. 

5. For countries and people who are divided by religious belief: that the Spirit of God will bring about new opportunities for understanding and cooperation.

6. For healing for all of us in body, mind and spirit. 

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

8. For the prayers that we hold in the silence of our hearts. 

Priest: As we continue our journey of discipleship through the days of ordinary time, we present our prayers through your son Jesus Christ, our Lord forever and ever.  Amen.
