4 August 2026 - prayers of the faithful for Tuesday of the 18th week in Ordinary Time

Lord Jesus - you bring us hope. 

Christ Jesus - you are our savior and our redeemer. 

Lord Jesus - you are seated at the right hand of the father. 

Priest: May the prayers of our hearts be directed by the will of God as we pray for our needs, the needs of the Church, and the needs of the world: 

1. That the Lord may watch over the holy Church and care for her. 

2. That the Lord may preserve harmony amongst the people of the world. 

3. That the Lord may grant relief to those who are oppressed and for those who on the margins. 

4. For our community of faith, that the Lord may receive us as a sacrifice acceptable to him. 

5. For all of us assembled here today to worship in faith, that we may work together in our proclamation of God's kingdom. 

6. For the faithful departed. For their entry into eternal life. For the souls in purgatory. 

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

Priest: O God, our refuge and our strength, hear the prayers of your Church today, made through your son Jesus Christ, our Lord forever and ever. AMEN.
