5 June 2026 - Prayers of the Faithful for Friday of the 9th week of Ordinary time

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

Christ Jesus - you proclaim the peace of God’s kingdom. 

Lord Jesus - you bring us new life. 

Priest: As we place our trust in the mercy of the risen Lord, we lift our prayers for the Church, the world, and all in need. 

1. That we may be a community of compassion, forgiveness, and witness to the resurrection. 

2. For Pope Leo XIV and for his prayer intention for the month of June: that sports be an instrument of peace, encounter, and dialogue among cultures and nations; that they promote values such as respect, solidarity, and personal growth.

3. For our deceased family members and loved ones. For their entry into eternal life. 

4. That nations burdened by violence, poverty, and injustice may feel the transformative power of Christ’s peace. 

5. For safety for all those who are traveling during the summer months. For our children, youth, and college students, that they may have a good summer break. 

6. For our children and youth who are engaged in Vacation Bible School this week. In thanksgiving for all who have helped this week. 

7. For the prayers we hold in the silence of our hearts. 

Priest: With joy and faith, we present these prayers through your son Jesus Christ, our Lord forever and ever. AMEN.
