Readings: 17th Sunday in Ordinary Time
INTENTIONS
Heavenly Father, we come before you looking to help spread your kingdom throughout the earth. Inspired by Christ your Son, and our teacher, Let us
pray
For our
church
That Pope
Francis , Bishop Caggiano, and our church leaders continue to guide us to the
kingdom as the wise scribe, bringing
forth both old and new from the storeroom,
For our
government
That they
may see each person as a precious treasure and may act as a wise and caring
steward
For those persecuted for their faith - especially in the Middle East
That The Lord touch their hearts with his love and respect for all people so that Muslims and Christians may live in peace.
For our
economically challenged
That the
Lord will show them their worth as a child of God and that His loving hand
continues to provide for them.
For the
sick
That the
Lord make his presence known and provide consolation and healing,
For our
families
That they
may be a a place to both experience and share Gods Love and Peace
Father God, you know us better than we know ourselves for you knew us before we were born. Fill us with your wisdom so that we can ask for our needs and open our eyes to see your work in our lives. We ask this through Jesus your son.
