Prayers of the Faithful                        July 31 & August 1, 2021

Presider:  

God gives the gift of Jesus to be the Bread of Life, nourishing and sustaining us. And so we pray:

Lector:

• That all members of the church come to a deeper understanding of Jesus’ gift of himself to us as the Bread of Life, we pray:

• That all people of the world be nourished as they seek fuller life, we pray:

• That those who lack the basic necessities of life receive from those who have been given the Bread of Life, we pray:

• That parishioners of Risen Savior will seek to help those who are hungry through outreach programs such as Loaves and Fishes, Food on the First, and Meals on Wheels, we pray:

• For all involved in this week’s upcoming build with Habitat for Humanity–our parish volunteers, Habitat staff, and the homeowners-to-be: that each may be an instrument of God’s love and transformed by this experience of shared encounter, we pray:

• That those who are ill and have asked for our prayers, including Phil Cable, and Arnold Edel.

May they find comfort and healing, through God’s love, we pray:

Presider:

God of blessings, you send bread from heaven so that we might have eternal life: give us this bread always. We ask this through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

Presider:             

My friends, we who have gathered here to be fed in this Eucharist remember and pray for all who need to be nourished in any way.

Lector:

1.            For the Church: that it may grow in its identity as a Eucharistic people, we pray:

2.            For all who endure hunger each day, particularly orphans, immigrants, and the marginalized: that God will open avenues for food to reach them and help our hearts to be more sensitive to their needs and more aware of our abundance, we pray:

3.            For our Archdiocese as we continue the Synod process and prepare for small groups at our parish this fall: that the Spirit who calls us to unity may inspire each of us to live our baptismal calls with humility, gentleness, patience, and love, we pray:

4.            For all who bring food to our table each day, for farmers, harvesters, transporters, grocers, and cooks: that God will bless them abundantly and renew their life and wellbeing, we pray:

5.            For care and protection of the environment that provides food for the whole world, we pray:

6.            For those who are ill and have asked for our prayers, including, Sandy Hartung

may they find comfort and healing, through God’s love, we pray:

7.            Today we pray for our Beloved Dead: Ward Kierski, Dale Schlichting, Paul Pfeifer, Mark Juenemann, Cliff Drenttel, Jean Lesmeister

Presider:

God of power and promise, you feed us at the Eucharistic table and call us to be mindful of all who are hungry. Grant us the grace to be worthy of this calling and to feed others as you feed us. We pray in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ Amen.
