Thirty-Third Sunday in Ordinary Time

Let us pray for perseverance in faith. May our Universal Church secure our place in Christ Jesus. May hope abound.

We pray to the Lord.

Let us pray for those who experience injustice by our lack of attention. May we reach out to the stranger, those who seek hope in our land and nation, and those who need food and shelter in order to thrive on earth.

We pray to the Lord.

Let us pray for people facing natural disasters. May we reach far beyond our boundaries of comfort to help people in need. May our faith turn into practical care for victims of floods, fires and storms.

We pray to the Lord.

Let us pray for lasting and secure peace. May we not forget our faith in working for non-violence for all people on earth. May we extend hope to those who need our helping hands.

We pray to the Lord.

Let us pray for poets, artists and dreamers. May God continue to inspire those who help us see life without fear and boundaries. May art thrive in our family lives.

We pray to the Lord.

Let us pray for our loved ones who have died. May our grief reveal hope for the next generation. In this Mass…
