prayers of the faithful - feast of St Luke the Evangelist - 18 October 2024

Lord Jesus - you call us out of our weaknesses.

Christ Jesus - you are the word of God.

Lord Jesus - you call us as your disciples.

Priest: As we celebrate St Luke the Evangelist today, we present our prayers to our merciful God:

1. For all of our Church leaders who lead us and guide us in the faith. May they help us grow in wisdom and charity.

2. As St Luke was a physician, we pray for all physicians and medical professionals. May their hard work and talents be a service of love and mercy to our community.

3. For all missionaries throughout the world, for all who spread the Good News to others.

4. For all pilgrims and for all travelers. May the Lord bless them and keep them safe. 

5. For the sick and shut-ins. For healing in body, mind, and spirit.

6. For the faithful departed, for their entry into eternal life. 

7. For those prayers we hold in our hearts today.

Priest: Heavenly Father, you called St Luke to be a missionary of your Gospel message. Help us all recognize our missionary calling. We present these prayers to you through your son Jesus Christ, our Lord forever and ever. AMEN.
