Twelfth Sunday in Ordinary Time

For our Church leaders that they may be guided by the Holy Spirit in their preaching the Good News of salvation and in bringing hope to others, we pray.

For people who live in fear and anxiety. May the reassurance of God’s love and support bring them courage and peace, we pray.

For those who are sick, lonely and depressed. May they be strengthened by God’s love and aided by their family, friends and well-wishers, we pray.

For all of us gathered here, that we may live in the confident assurance of God’s abiding presence and providential care for us, we pray.

Let us pray in silence now for our personal intentions.
