Prayers of the Faithful

9/27/2026

26th Sunday in Ordinary Time Cycle A

Celebrant: In confidence and together, let us place our needs before God…

Deacon/Reader:

1. For Pope Leo, and his apostolic journey to France and for Bishop Luis, as he shepherds us, that they may guide us in so emptying ourselves that our life may serve God’s purposes more completely, we pray to the Lord…

2. For all Firefighters, Law enforcement officers, emergency medical personnel, as they protect and serve others, that God will watch over them, sustain them with His Grace, grant them courage in any danger, wisdom when any uncertainty and compassion toward all those given to their care, we pray to the Lord...

3. That those weakened by poverty and hunger, may be renewed in hope; and that those who turn away from the needs of others, may be awakened to generosity and the ways of love, especially towards those most in need, we pray to the Lord…

4. For all those on retreat this weekend, especially our women’s Emmaus group, that renewed in Spirit, they may grow in faith, and put aside their former ways to newness of Life in Christ, we pray to the Lord…

5. That all world leaders be blessed with right judgement in their care for the most vulnerable, the unborn, the poor and the elderly, and for our military as they serve the gift of freedom, we pray to the Lord…

6. And for all those who are ill and those caught in the web of addiction, that they may be given the Light of new strength and perseverance; and that all those who have died may know the fullness of peace and the joy of Heaven, we pray to the Lord…

Celebrant: Loving Father, guide us always by the Light of Your Will, as we pray in the Holy Name of Your Son, through Christ our Lord. R: Amen.
