One another, Sunday26B

September 29, 2024

Numbers 11:25-29; Psalm 19b; James 5:1-6; Mark 9:38-43, 45, 47-48

Let us now offer our prayers to God, the Father of justice and compassion:

For our Church and parish community, that in our prayer and work together we may proclaim God’s great love for all humankind: let us pray to the Lord.

For those who proclaim the gospel as teachers, writers, scholars, and preachers, that the Spirit of God may be revealed in their work: let us pray to the Lord.

For the leaders of nations and the peoples of the world, that the Spirit of peace, understanding, and wisdom may come to rest upon them: let us pray to the Lord.

For those who manage corporations and financial institutions, that they may conduct their businesses with justice and commitment to the common good: let us pray to the lord.

For those who are suffering from the effects of physical, sexual, or substance abuse, that they may be healed and made whole through the compassionate care of family and friends: let us pray to the Lord.

For those who have died in the peace of Christ [especially _________], that they may be welcomed into the company: let us pray to the Lord.

For the prayers we now offer in the silence of our hearts [Pause...]: let us pray to the Lord.

Bestow your Spirit upon us, O Lord, so that in all things we may act in Jesus’ name:to reach out to one another without condition, without judgment, without bias, without thought to the cost – for no other reason than that they are your sons and daughters.

Hear these prayers we offer for them and for us in the name of your Son, our Lord Jesus Christ.
