Prayers of the Faithful                        July 31 & August 1, 2021

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.

August 1: Exodus 16:2-4, 12-15 / Ephesians 4:17, 20-24 / John 6:24-35

July 28, 2021 By Marianne Brass

It is not unusual that people must pass through times of trial, sacrifice and deprivation to get to where they want to go on their life journey.  People escaping from persecution and violence must often leave homes and possessions behind, suffer privation and walk great distances to get to a refugee camp or other place of safety.  Such was the case for the Israelites escaping from Egypt. Despite their grumbling, however, they were not exactly in danger of dying from hunger.  They still had sheep and cattle but, livestock being their most valuable possession and source of income, they did not want to slaughter their animals for food.  This indicates their reluctance to put their trust and their future completely in God’s hands. 

In today’s gospel, the feeding of the 5,000 is called a “sign”. Think about the purpose of signs such as our new church sign for example.  It is not intended to be the ultimate focus of attention but, rather, stands for or points to something else, being the message posted.  Jesus intended his healings and works such as the multiplication of loaves and fishes to be signs leading people to listen to his message and entrust their lives to God.  The people, however, had more hunger for and were more focused on acquiring bread to fill their stomachs then food for eternal life.

Prayers of the Faithful                                         July 24 & 25, 2021

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.

July 25: 2 Kings 4:42-44 / Ephesians 4: 1-8 / John 6: 1-15

July 19, 2021 By Marianne Brass

In today’s first reading the prophet Elisha feeds 100 people during a time of famine with 20 small barley loaves. That seems rather miraculous until you compare it to Jesus’ feeding 5,000 with seven loaves and two fish. Juxtaposing the two events illustrates both the fulfillment and surpassing of the Old Covenant in Jesus Christ and his ministry. It should be noted that the two miracles were preceded by and made possible due to the generosity of people willing to share what they had with others in need. 

The Sunday gospel selections during ordinary time of year B are generally a somewhat continuous reading from the gospel of Mark. We switch this Sunday, however, to the account of the multiplication of loaves and fishes from the gospel of John. The major difference between this and the account of the same event in Mark 8:1-8 occurs in who provides the food. In Mark, the apostles themselves have the five loaves and two fish.  Here a little boy comes forward to offer Jesus the lunch his family has brought.  God invites us to be generous in sharing our material blessings, time and talents for the good of the broader community . . . a catalyst which God can then bless and multiply many times over.
