Proper 26
Brothers and sisters, Jesus is at the right hand of the Father interceding on our behalf. Therefore, let us join Him in bringing our requests before the God of all.
For a humble, forgiving and merciful Church that expresses the unconditional love and forgiveness of God.
Lord in Your mercy,
Hear our prayer.
For those who work for peace and justice among the nations.
Lord in Your mercy,
Hear our prayer.
For the poor, the homeless, the unemployed and the suicidal.
Lord in Your mercy,
Hear our prayer.
For the meekness of Moses, the boldness of John the Baptist, the faith of a child and the obedience of Jesus.
Lord in Your mercy,
Hear our prayer.
For those in the Pro-Life movement who have suffered ridicule, rejection, material loss, or imprisonment: that they may be comforted by the words of Jesus; “whatever you do to the least of My brethren, that you do unto Me”.
Lord in Your mercy,
Hear our prayer.
For the conversion of nations that persecute the church and restrict the preaching of the Gospel.
Lord in Your mercy,
Hear our prayer.
For parents: that their love for their children and each other may reflect the love that God has for His people.
Lord in Your mercy,
Hear our prayer.
Eternal Father, You desire men and women to serve You in every age. Hear our prayer and give us the grace to bear witness to Your Holy Gospel to the next generation. We ask this through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Amen.
