Prayers of the Faithful – July 5 & 6, 2025
Presider:
As people who are sent out into the harvest, we pray now for ourselves and for the whole world.
Lector:
- For the Church: that all who are sent in Christ’s name may bring peace, healing, and hope to a divided world, we pray to the Lord:
- For missionaries throughout the world, and especially for Fr. Giovanni Bizzotto and the Scalabrinian Fathers: that their ministry to migrants and refugees may bear abundant fruit, we pray to the Lord:
- For our nation as we celebrate Independence Day: that this weekend may be filled with safety, gratitude, and a renewed commitment to justice and liberty for all, we pray to the Lord:
- For those who feel spiritually lost or disconnected: that they may find nourishment and comfort in the presence of a loving God, we pray to the Lord:
- For each of us – all laborers in the harvest: that we may hear God’s call and share in the mission of the church by bringing hope, relieving burdens, and offering compassionate understanding to all who touch our lives, we pray to the Lord:
- For those who are ill and have asked for our prayers especially Myrle Osell and Christine Johansen. May they find comfort in the healing touch of God and by the loving care of family and friends, we pray to the Lord:
- or those who have died, especially Alex Alesso, grandson of Nancy and the late Bill Tschohl, that they may now share fully in the risen and ascended life of Christ, we pray to the Lord:
Presider:
Loving and faithful God, you send us into the world with your peace and joy. Hear these prayers we offer today and help us to live as new creations in Christ. We ask this through Jesus our Lord. Amen.
