Prayers of the Faithful
Prayers of the Faithful
January 30th, 2025
Knowing that God is the source of all good, with humility and confidence, we place before him both our needs and those of the world.
- For all those who exercise spiritual authority, that they might lead us well in our efforts to evangelize the world, let us pray to the Lord.
- For our government and its officials—and for a return to civility within our political discussions—let us pray to the Lord.
- For peace throughout the world, remembering especially the war in Ukraine and the situation in Iran, and for an end to the culture of violence in our own country, let us pray to the Lord.
- For God’s blessings upon our efforts to restructure the Archdiocese: that the process may be peaceful and full of grace, let us pray to the Lord.
- For an increase in vocations to the priesthood, and that those called may respond willingly, with trust in the one who calls them, let us pray to the Lord.
- For the great success of our offertory campaign “Committed to Christ—Giving Gratefully”—and that those families who have fallen away from the full practice of their Faith will be drawn back to share the Eucharist with us, let us pray to the Lord.
- For greater respect in our country for all human life, and for an end to the still widespread practice of abortion, let us pray to the Lord.
- We’ll take a moment in silent prayer now for the intentions of the persons around us… (take five full seconds, then:) …let us pray to the Lord.
- For all the sick, and for those who care for them, remembering especially…

…let us pray to the Lord.
Father of mercy, you listen with love to the prayers of the humble. Hear all that we ask, and grant what is for our good. We ask this through Christ, our Lord. Amen.
