Sixth Sunday in Ordinary Time Cycle A

For Francis, our Pope. May the Holy Spirit continue to sing within him with songs of justice and mercy for people in every nation under heaven.

We pray to the Lord.

For integrity in our relationships. May we live the Spirit’s yearning for courage and truth in all our commitments.

We pray to the Lord.

For people who cannot forgive a loved one. May our search for compassion bring health and wisdom to our hearts. May we not sever love that unites us to family and uprightness.

We pray to the Lord.

For a healthy search for wisdom. May we not condemn or discourage others in our quest for right living. May kindness rejuvenate our hearts always and everywhere.

We pray to the Lord.

For cancer survivors. May those who have been ravaged by cancer reach the depths of healing.  May they surrender to the love God has for them.

We pray to the Lord.

For a healing balm amid the conflicts of racial divides. May we see with eyes of love those who are different from our own stories. May our integrity shine like the sun.

We pray to the Lord.

For our children and our children’s children. May our next generations cultivate the joy of life within them and in their commitments. May love within them flow like a mountain river.

We pray to the Lord.

For our desperate poor. May our eyes not turn away from the genuine needs of our sisters and brothers. May the cries of justice penetrate our souls. May the hungry be fed with bread and integrity all their days.

We pray to the Lord.
