8 August 2024 - Prayers of the faithful - Thursday of the 18th week in Ordinary Time

Lord Jesus - you call us to new life. 

Christ Jesus - you call us to bring your Gospel message to the world.  

Lord Jesus - you guide us toward God’s justice. 

Priest: Confident in God’s love and mercy, we present now our prayers and petitions. 

1. That we in the Church may continue to reach out to others in love, embracing the marginalized and those in need. 

2. For governmental leaders throughout the world, that they may address the many pressing issues of our time and may they be open to receiving wisdom and understanding from God. 

3.  For parents, may God provide them with the wisdom and understanding they need to discern what is best for their children’s future. 

4. For our medical professionals, our first responders, and for the men and women in the military. 

5. For the Christian faithful, may they single-heartedly seek the kingdom of heaven. 

6.  For the sick and shut-in. For the repose of the souls of the faithful departed. For those prayers we hold in our hearts today. 

Priest: Loving God, we know it is you who in all things works for good, please grant us the eyes of faith to see the many ways you graciously accomplish these works. We make our prayers through your Son Christ our Lord forever and ever. AMEN.
