Seventh Sunday of the Year
Be compassionate as your Father is compassionate. (Luke 6:36)
The Priest says:
Through the Gospel, the Lord Jesus calls us to be compassionate as our Father in heaven is compassionate. Let us make now make our prayer to him confident of his loving mercy.
Reader:
We pray for all nations,
that they may seek the way that leads to peace, that human rights and freedom may be everywhere respected, and that the world's resources may be generously shared. Lord, hear us.
We pray for the Church,
that her leaders may be faithful ministers of the word and sacraments, that all her members may be strong in faith and hope, and that God may be recognised in the compassion she bears to all.
Lord, hear us.
We pray for those in need and those who care for them,
that, in his loving mercy, Christ may bring them comfort and strength.
Lord, hear us.
We pray for the faithful departed,
through the eternal compassion of God may they rest in peace.
Lord, hear us.
We ask Our Lady, mother of mercy, to pray for us as we say: Hail Mary …
Let us pray in silence for our own needs.
The priest concludes the prayers:
Father, hear the prayers of the family you have gathered here before you.
In mercy and love unite all your children, wherever they may be.
Through Christ our Lord.
Amen.
