Sunday Intercessions ~ Thirtieth Sunday in Ordinary Time


We pray for those who terrorize and kill in God's name./ We pray for those whose disbelief in God leads them to hateful intolerance,/ and for Christians to live authentic lives in Christ./ We pray to the Lord.

The young people of the world are beset by dangers./ We pray for them wherever their lives,/ safety,/ well-being,/ peace and health are threatened./ We pray to the Lord.

An internationally staffed space station circles the earth./ We ask for the team's safety/ and a blessing on all efforts to promote God's Kingdom of peace./ We pray to the Lord.

In a world of terrible greed/ we ask for a new global heart,/ open to the needs and life-desires of all,/ not some./ We pray to the Lord.

At Mass/ water is mixed with wine./ We pray for those who suffer terrible thirst for lack of potable water,/ and for God to make us careful stewards of the many gifts the earth gives./ We pray to the Lord.

We ask to be healed of the passions which afflict us spiritually: violence,/ laziness,/ resentment,/ lust,/ indifference,/ blaming,/ superficiality./ We pray to the Lord.

And we pray for the sick and those who  care for them./ We intercede for those who have died/ to behold the face of Jesus our Savior-brother and friend./ We pray to the Lord.
