Prayer of the Faithful 

Jesus Christ is proof of God’s infinite love for us, and so we bring our needs before the Lord, assured that there is nothing we can ask that exceeds what we have already been given. 

• For the success of Our Lady of the Gulf Vacation Bible School.

• For the Church, that we may always work to build unity, within the Church itself, with all who confess Jesus is Lord, and ultimately among all God’s children.

• That all nations may reject war and violence as legitimate ways to resolve conflicts, and may instead embrace working for peace and justice for all people.

• For married couples and all who are engaged to be married, that their love may reflect the divine love among Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

• For farmers who grow our food, that they may be blessed with good weather and a fruitful harvest.

• For parents, teachers, and catechists, and all who teach of our loving and merciful God by word and example.

• For all the prayers that we hold in the silence of our hearts; for all our intentions spoken and unspoken, 

               ...let us pray to the Lord. 

Triune God, you so loved the world that you gave us your only Son. Listen to the needs on our lips and in our hearts and grant them in your exquisite generosity, through your Son, Jesus Christ, one with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, God for ever and ever.
