28 May 2024 - prayers of the faithful - Tuesday of the 8th week in Ordinary Time

Lord Jesus - you call us to obedience. 

Christ Jesus - you call us to Gospel joy. 

Lord Jesus - you call us to serve our neighbor. 

PRIEST: The Lord's steadfast love endures forever: Let us pray for the needs of all God’s children in the name of Jesus, our Savior and our Redeemer: 

1. That Christians throughout the world come together in a unity of purpose, witness, and fellowship. 

2. May our governmental leaders be good stewards of the gifts of God found in creation and may we work together to share these gifts with others, especially the most need.

3. For those who are called to the consecrated life, may they be faithful witnesses of God’s love.

4. May all feel welcome in our community of faith through our words and our actions. 

5. For all those who celebrated the sacraments of initiation this Easter season. May they feel encouraged on their journey of faith. 

6. For those who suffer in body, mind, and spirit: May all the sick find healing in Jesus’ name. 

7. For all who have died: May Christ lead them through the mystery of death and into the green pastures of eternal life with him.

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

PRIEST: We present these prayers through Jesus our Good Shepherd, our Lord forever and ever.  AMEN.
