19th Sunday in Ordinary Time (B)
Priest:
We turn to God in prayer for the needs of the Church and the world.
Reader:
For all those in authority in the Church. May our prayers support them as they continue to support us.
Lord, hear us.
For an end to the humanitarian crisis forcing thousands of people to flee persecution and danger in North Africa and the Middle East, and seek safety in Europe: that Governments may work together to protect the safety of the migrants, on land and sea; to share the burden of caring for them and welcoming them; and in helping businesses and travellers, whose lives are disturbed and disrupted by this crisis.
Lord, hear us.
For those who face persecution because of their faith in Jesus Christ: that they might be comforted by our support in prayer and in action.
Lord, hear us.
For those currently on holiday. May they travel safely and return refreshed in mind and body.
Lord, hear us.
For all awaiting for examination results. May they find ways to achieve their hopes and ambitions for the future.
Lord, hear us.
Mary the Mother of Christ is our mother also. We ask her to join her prayers with ours as we say: Hail Mary …
Let us now pray for a moment in silence.
Priest:
God, our loving Father, we ask you to listen to all our prayers because we make them in faith and in the name of your Son, Jesus Christ, who is Lord for ever and ever. Amen
