18 August 2024 - Prayers of the faithful - 20th Sunday of Ordinary Time - prison ministry

Lord Jesus - you are the living bread from heaven - Lord have mercy. 

Christ Jesus - your flesh and your blood are true food and true drink - Christ have mercy.


Lord Jesus - you are the fountain of redemption - Lord have mercy. 

Priest: Knowing that Jesus gave his very flesh for the life of the world, let us have the confidence to present our needs and the needs of the world to the Lord, trusting that our prayers will be heard: 

1. That we in the Church may welcome God’s faithful to receive the living bread, as Christ’s living bread provides the spiritual nourishment that sustains us on our journey to God’s kingdom. We pray to the Lord.
2. For those who are struggling spiritually, that they may find what they need in Christ. We pray to the Lord. 

3. For those who are battling addictions, mental illness, depression, or eating disorders. That they may find support and healing. We pray to the Lord.
4. For all of our family members and children who are starting the new school year, for all men here at CMCF who are in classes, that the Lord may bless them their studies this school year. We pray to the Lord. 

5. That all Catholics may recognize the bread of life that we have in us and find in that bread the sustenance we need. We pray to the Lord.
6. For the prayers we hold in the silence of our hearts. For all our prayer intentions spoken and unspoken. We pray to the Lord. 

Priest: Generous God, you set a banquet for us and you invite us to partake in its goodness. May we have our fill and share what we have with others. We make our prayers through your son Jesus Christ, our Lord forever and ever. AMEN.
