30 June 2026 - prayers of the faithful for Tuesday of the 12th week in Ordinary time

Lord have mercy - you are the son of God and son of Mary. 

Christ have mercy - you bring us God’s love. 

Lord have mercy - you are seated at the right hand of the Father.

Priest: We now turn to our loving God and offer our prayers and our needs to the Father’s eternal mercy.

1. For Leo XIV, our pope, Joseph Kopacz, our bishop, and all our Church leaders.  May all who lead us in faith find hope in the Eucharist of Christ and the fidelity of God in service to all people.

2. May the leaders of nations work diligently for justice and Christ’s peace. 

3. For a greater love for the Eucharist in our hearts and in our lives. 

4. For all who hunger for belonging in our world. For those who feel separated and excluded. May the feel the love of God and the love of our community. 

5. For missionaries and evangelizers of God’s word. May the Church’s new evangelization efforts reach out throughout the world. 

6. For the sick and the afflicted. For healing and wholeness. 

7. That we may all live out the spirit of the Gospel of life in our words and our actions. 

Priest: Loving and gracious God, pour out your bounty of hope amid the hungers of your people. We present these prayers through your son Jesus Christ, our Lord forever and ever. AMEN.
