Prayers for 27 October (30th Sunday in Ordinary Time)
Introduction (by the Presider) The Lord has worked marvels for us, so we bring forward our prayers with confidence:
- For the Church throughout the world — that we may be united around Francis, our pope (pause and pray). Lord, hear us.
- For our local Church in Cork & Ross — that we may listen to each other (pause and pray). Lord, hear us.
- For the world — that every evil may be defeated, especially war and hatred (pause and pray). Lord, hear us.
- For all who suffer — that they may experience the healing power of Jesus (pause and pray). Lord, hear us.
- For those who have problems with their sight — that they may have the help they need (pause and pray). Lord, hear us.
- For young people and teachers on a midterm break this week — that it may refresh them (pause and pray). Lord, hear us.
The Presider prays for the dead: For those who have died (especially N and N), that they may have the reward of their labours (pause and pray). Lord, hear us.
Conclusion (by the Presider) O Lord, we rejoice in your marvellous kindness and bring forward all our needs: we entrust them to you with faith and confidence, through Christ our Lord. Amen.
