PRAYERS OF THE FAITHFUL

Priest:

“Let anyone with ears listen!” God’s word has been broken for us and we have listened to its teaching. Now we reflect on its meaning for us as we pray to the Lord who sows and harvests, that people may eagerly welcome his word and respond to its urgent call.

Reader:

1.  May we grow in understanding the word of God revealed to us. May we learn to obey its teaching in the Church and in the world so that God’s will may be done. Lord, in your mercy.

2.  All creation witnesses to God’s purposes. May we always respect our universe and from its beauty, integrity and nature deepen our understanding of how God wants us to treat our world. Lord, in your mercy.

3.  May we be guided by the teaching of Jesus in all that we value and hold dearest; and by our living the gospel, may others be drawn to the truth of God. May pastors and missionaries, catechists and teachers keep sowing the word seed even when they see no harvest. Lord, in your mercy.

4.  The teaching of Jesus reveals to us God’s purposes for ourselves and for our world. May we be faithful followers of Jesus, listening to his teaching and bearing fruit by our obedience to God’s word. Lord, in your mercy.

5.  We pray for those who are not moved by the word of God, that the Church may hear their silent yearning and speak that word in such a way that they see that it pertains to their life and happiness. Lord, in your mercy.

6.  We pray for the sick, the lonely, those who suffer or mourn, that the word of God may bring them consolation, give them the courage to bear their pain and to keep hoping in a loving God. May our Christian community not let the cares of life choke the word of God in us. Lord, in your mercy.

Mary trusted the Lord completely. We pray with her: Hail Mary…

Let us trust our cares to the Lord.

Priest:

God of compassion and love, may your kingdom come! May your word not return to you without carrying out your will in us, and our prayers not return to us without having been answered by you. We make our prayers through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives with you and the Holy spirit, one God for ever and ever.

Amen.
