Bidding Prayers
Prayer of the Faithful for the 17th Sunday in Ordinary Time
Introduction(by the Presider): Because God listens to our prayers, let us make our needs known:
- That all nations may work for peace in the Middle East (pause for silent prayer). Lord, hear us
- That the suffering people of Gaza may be protected — and fed (pause for silent prayer). Lord, hear us.
- That Pope Leo may continue to preach peace in this Holy Year (pause for silent prayer). Lord, hear us.
- That Bishop Fintan and our young people may be blessed as they travel to Rome (pause for silent prayer). Lord, hear us.
- That all may find God is close to them when they pray for help (pause for silent prayer). Lord, hear us.
- That we may learn from the wisdom of grandparents and elders (pause for silent prayer). Lord, hear us.
The presider prays for the dead: For all who have gone before us in faith (especially N. and N, and all our grandparents who have died) that through their baptismal sharing in Christ’s power, they may be raised up (we pray quietly for this). Lord, hear us.
Conclusion (by the Presider) God of glory and majesty, you answer the prayers of those who call out to you: be with your people in their every need, through Christ our Lord. Amen.
