Sirach 27:4-7; Ps 92 (91); 1 Corinthians 15:54-58; Luke 6:39-45

Let us now pray together that our hope in God’s great love will reap a harvest of blessings for all the human family:

For our Church and parish, that we may sow and reap a harvest of compassion, justice, and mercy: let us pray to the Lord.

For Pope N., Bishop N., Father N., and the bishops, priests, and deacons of our Church, that they may proclaim the love of God with humility, understanding, and integrity: let us pray to the Lord.

For our country and for all nations and peoples, that together we may build a world dedicated to peace and justice and free of hatred, poverty, and oppression: let us pray to the Lord.

For parents and teachers, that, in their love for their children, they may help them discover the wisdom and love of God: let us pray to the lord.

For the sick, the suffering, and the dying, that the love of Christ may be their hope: let us pray to the Lord.

For the faithful who have died [especially _________], that they may share in Christ’s victory over sin and death: let us pray to the Lord.

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

We lift our prayers to you, O Lord of hope, confident that you will continue to bless us.

Nurture us in your love, that we may sow and reap a harvest of joy. Grant these prayers we make in the name of your Son, Jesus Christ.
