8/3 Intentions: 18th Sunday in Ordinary Time

Father, you provided for the 5,000 who came to hear your son.  With confidence we lift our prayers to you

Let us pray

That The Lord continue to use Pope Francis , Bishop Caggiano, and our church leaders to feed us with his word and help us to make that word reality in the world

That our elected officials may continue to reflect Gods love for us and our love for each other in the laws they uphold and create.

That  the victims of war, especially in the middle East may experience the peace of Christ soon

That those who are suffering economically be open to daily miracles that show the provision of the Lord

That the Lord make his presence known to all the physically, emotionally and spiritually sick and provide consolation and healing,

That the Lord draw those travelling on vacation into a time of renewal and refreshment and provide  rest

That our families may be a a place to both experience and share Gods kingdom

For those who have died and their loved ones, that they may experience the love of God in his presence.

We present our needs to you, fulfill them in and through your Son Jesus.
