prayers of the faithful - Thursday of the 32nd week in Ordinary time - 16 November 2023

Lord Jesus - you speak to us in God's holy word. 

Christ Jesus - you will come again in the end times. 

Lord Jesus - you bring us new life. 

Priest: We now present our prayers to God, the shepherd who cares for all his flock:

1. For those in leadership roles in the Church, both lay and ordained leaders, that the Lord will give them wisdom and strength.  

2. For leaders of governments and nations, that they serve God and their people in humility and hope. 

3. For those our deceased family members and loved ones, that they may dwell in the Lord’s house for ever in eternal life. 

4. For all those are struggling with addictions, depression, and mental illness, for healing and wholeness. 

5. For the sick and shut-ins, for those who need healing in their lives in body, mind, or spirit in their lives. 

6. For our first responders, for the men and women in the military, for our medical professional.  In thanksgiving for the ways they serve the community.  

7. For the people we love, particularly those in need of support at this time, whom we remember in the silence of our hearts.  


Priest: Loving God, caring shepherd, you look after your people at every moment of their lives: Hear the prayers we make, in trust and faith, through Christ our Lord forever and ever. Amen
