Prayers of the Faithful – July 12 & 13, 2025
Presider:
As people formed by the love and mercy of Christ, we now turn to God with prayers for the needs of our Church, our world, and all our neighbors.
Lector:
- For the Church: that we may be a witness of compassion and mercy to all people, especially the most vulnerable, we pray to the Lord:
- For government leaders and lawmakers: that they may enact policies that reflect justice and care for all neighbors, near and far, we pray to the Lord:
- For those who feel forgotten, rejected, or in need of healing: may they encounter care and dignity through our acts of love and kindness, we pray to the Lord:
- For our parish community: that we may be instruments of reconciliation, working for justice, and promoting the advancement of all who have suffered prejudice or discrimination, we pray to the Lord:
- For those who are ill and have asked for our prayers, especially 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:
- For those who have died, especially Daniel Isaac Aguilar, that they may now share fully in the risen and ascended life of Christ, we pray to the Lord:
Presider:
Merciful God, you show us how to love by the example of your Son. Hear these prayers and help us to walk in the ways of compassion and justice. We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen.
