Twenty-Second Sunday in Ordinary Time

Prayers of the Faithful

We pray to the Lord.

Let us pray for wisdom in our decision making in serving our families, our communities and our own lives. May God’s love abound within us.

We pray to the Lord.

Let us pray for the weak and forgotten. May the weary find strength, the poor find the richness of love and the hopeless discover the beauty of the Kingdom.

We pray to the Lord.
