Sixth Sunday in Ordinary Time

We pray for integrity within our Catholic Church, that hope may abound for the young, and wisdom may become a ground of sincerity among our families.

We pray to the Lord.

We pray for reconciliation among those we only tolerate. May we lift up our enemies to the fire of God’s love. May our bitter tongues find joy in speaking only good and kindness.

We pray to the Lord.

We pray for peace along the fractures of family life. May reconciliation bring new ways to heal family members who are addicted or lonely, who are lost or frightened.

We pray to the Lord.

We pray for those who cannot bear their grief any longer. May consolation be on the shoulders that bear the burdens of sorrow and loss. May those huddled in darkness stand only in the light of Christ Jesus.

We pray to the Lord.

We pray for our children, who struggle in school, our young who are bored with life, and those jaded in relationships. May our young find a zeal to use their gifts for the common good and their lives to serve those most in need.

We pray to the Lord.

We pray for our beloved dead. May those whom we have buried in our parish community find the light of Christ Jesus in their heavenly home. In this Mass…

We pray to the Lord.
