Prayers of the faithful - 9 July 2025 - Wednesday of the 14th week in ordinary time

Lord Jesus - You call us to be missionary in spirit. 

Christ Jesus - You bring us hope. 

Lord Jesus - You bring us your Good News. 

With hope and faith, let us bring our prayers to our heavenly Father: 

1. That God will bless Pope Leo 14th in leading the Church to greater service, love and unity. 

2. That all Christians may cooperate and collaborate together to proclaim the Gospel and to work for peace and justice.  

3. For all who are called to bear prophetic witness, that their witness to the truth may touch hearts and be an opportunity for deeper conversion. 

4. That the Holy Spirit will guide our elected officials in addressing issues of violence, injustice, and poverty. 

5. For healing in our families and our communities. That those touched by anger or division may heal and reconcile and be brought to wholeness. 

6. For the prayers we hold in the silence of our heart:

We humbly present these prayers through your Son Jesus Christ, our Lord forever and ever. AMEN.
