Twenty Six Sunday in Ordinary Time

For the pope, bishops, priests and religious that in the exercise of their pastoral ministry they may be faithful and obedient to the divine will, we pray.

For leaders of nations that they may seek the guidance of the Lord to enable them to better serve their people with integrity and justice, we pray.

For all who are sick, homeless or homebound, that they may find hope and courage in Christ and discover the redemptive value of their suffering. We pray.

For all of us present in this assembly that through this celebration we all may grow in our desire to love and to be obedient to God who has called us. We pray.

Let us pause in silence now and pray for our personal intentions…we pray.
