16 August 2024 - prayers of the faithful - Friday of the 19th week in Ordinary Time

Lord Jesus - you call us to holiness. 

Christ Jesus - you help us grow in our faith. 

Lord Jesus - you are the son of the Father. 

Priest: God is faithful to us from generation to generation. We present our concerns before God the Most High. 

1. That the Church’s profession of Jesus as the son of God may be manifest through giving our lives in service for others and in allowing God to raise us to new life. 

2. That all Christians may find refuge and consolation in the cross of Christ. 

3.  For all who spend their lives serving others, including emergency personnel, aid workers, missionaries, and members of the military: that God will guide them each day and protect them from harm. 

4.  For all who are searching in their lives. For those who lack hope. That our Savior may reach out to them in the midsts of their questions and searching. 

5. For the repose of the souls of the faithful departed.  For their entry into eternal life. 

6. For the prayers we hold in our hearts today. 

Priest: Father, we thank you for making us members of your family. As you hear our prayers, may we extend your goodness to all our brothers and sisters. We ask this through Christ our Lord forever and ever. Amen.
