Prayers of the Faithful – August 2 & 3, 2025
Presider:
Mindful that our true treasure lies in God’s grace and mercy, we turn to the Lord with our prayers for the Church and the world:
Lector:
- For the Church, that all believers may seek what is above and live lives rooted in Christ’s compassion and humility. We pray to the Lord:
- For leaders of nations, that they may use their power not for personal gain but to serve the common good with justice and wisdom. We pray to the Lord:
- For those who struggle with financial insecurity or the burdens of daily work, that they may find peace, support, and renewed purpose in their labor. We pray to the Lord:
- For our community, that we may let go of attachments to material things and grow rich in love, mercy, and generosity. We pray to the Lord:
- For those who are ill and have asked for our prayers, especially Jim Wehri and Mike Bergwall. May they find comfort in the healing touch of God and by the loving care of family and friends. We pray to the Lord:
- For those who have died with faith in the resurrection; especially Sally Bigoness, that they may now share fully in the risen and ascended life of Christ. We pray to the Lord:
Presider: Gracious God, you are our refuge and lasting treasure. Hear the prayers we offer today and help us to trust in you above all else, through Christ our Lord. Amen.
