Intentions - 8/17/14

Twentieth Sunday in Ordinary Time, Cycle A

Heavenly Father, you willed your love and mercy to be shown to the whole world, Hear our prayers we bring before you today

We pray for our pope, our bishop and all our clergy that they share in  your desire to draw all to yourself.

We pray for our government officials  that their laws and policies will preserve and promote human dignity

We pray for peace in our world for those who suffer war in the Ukraine, the Holy Land and all troubled areas in our country.

Look with mercy on all those among us who are suffering, particularly the sick, the poor and those who lack dignified employment.

Gather those who have died into your loving arms and bring them new life.  Grant consolation and peace to those who love them here on earth.

Provide strength, wisdom, grace and joy to our priests, let them be reminders of your love in our world, and that our young people may see and follow their example into holy vocations

Heavenly Father, Hear our pryersas e offer them through Jesus your son.


Amen
