Prayer
of the Faithful for January 17, 2016
Second
Sunday in Ordinary Time
Celebrant:
As we celebrate our coming together for the Eucharist, let us, dear
sisters and brothers, approach the
one God to voice all our needs.
·
For
the Church, and for this parish community: may we always recognize the gifts
God has given each of us and encourage the gifts of one another for the good of
our neighbor and the whole human family.
We pray to the Lord.
·
For
a welcoming ecumenical spirit among churches, that we may bear joyful witness
to the quest for Christian unity in Jesus’ name. We pray to the Lord.
·
For
people of all nations, races, and religions, that Martin Luther King’s dream of
unity, peace and brotherly love be fulfilled among us. We pray to the Lord.
·
For the poor, the unemployed, and
the destitute, for immigrants and refugees, and for all who dedicate their
lives in service to them. We pray to the
Lord.
·
For all
children who have died from abortion and for their
mothers and fathers: for mercy, peace and the loving embrace of Christ. We pray to the Lord.
·
In
this month dedicated to the Holy Name, we pray that each time we say, “Jesus”
it is spoken as a perfect prayer, reflecting Your perfect love for us. We pray to the Lord.
·
And
for those for whom this Mass is offered [name them]. We pray to the Lord.
·
Let
us pause now and silently offer to the Father our own particular intentions
[allow for silence. . .]. We pray to the
Lord.
Celebrant:
Gracious God, we believe that you will hear and respond to our sincere
prayers, asked in the name of your Son, and in the power of your Spirit, one
God, forever and ever. Amen.
