19th Sunday of the Year (C)
The Priest introduces the prayers:
The Lord tells us to be dressed for action and have our lamps lit. Let us be alert and active in our faith and committed to live in his justice and peace
Reader:
We pray for the Church in all the world,
that the Holy Spirit will guide and inspire all bishops, priests and deacons, so that we may all be ready to meet the Lord when he comes.
Lord, hear us. Lord, graciously hear us.
We pray for peace and justice in the world,
that those in authority may not oppose the will of God,
and that we may have political leaders who will guide us in the path of righteousness. Lord, hear us. Lord, graciously hear us.
We pray for the sick and those who care for them,
that those who feel God is distant from them
may realise that he is coming to save them.
Lord, hear us. Lord, graciously hear us.
We pray for those departed this life,
that those who have left this life in faith and fear
may be welcomed by Christ to their eternal happiness in heaven.
Lord, hear us. Lord, graciously hear us.
Now let us pray with Mary, Mother of all Christians: Hail Mary.
We make our own prayers in moment of silence.
The priest concludes the prayers:
Almighty God, we come before you, reborn in your Spirit. Touch our hearts, that we may grow in the life you have promised - touch our lives, that we may be signs of your love for all people. Grant this through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
