Twenty-Ninth Sunday in Ordinary Time

Let us pray for persistence in our Church to serve those who cry out in need. May we listen with faithful ears and deep respect for the gospel and people’s needs.

We pray to the Lord.

Let us pray for persistence, conviction and zeal in our efforts to live our faith. May God’s love form our lives and reveal our gifts to help others.

We pray to the Lord.

Let us pray for people who have given up on prayer. May our lives support the basic needs of people who have little money or power.

We pray to the Lord.

Let us pray for those whose prayers have never been answered. May our faces bowed down in disappointment be lifted high with hope for tomorrow.

We pray to the Lord.

Let us pray to release our lives of false judgment. May we not shame those whose opinions are different than our own. May we not use words, fists or guns to condemn people.

We pray to the Lord.

Let us release our loved ones in death to the glory of their home in heaven. In this Mass…

We pray to the Lord.
