Ordinary 8C

POP: righteousness

By Leave a Comment

God of righteousness, we put our trust in you.
We want to do what is right;
give us the faith to follow you and serve our neighbors.
Restore our relationships with one another.

Hear the prayers of our hearts,
and help us always to pray for
the things that would give you joy.
We pray especially for those we know by name…
…and we lift up those needs that we hold in silence.

Silence

O Lord, we entrust ourselves to you.
Let what is righteous in us rise like the sun,
and teach us to serve justice in all things.
We wait for you, and our hearts learn to pray
as Jesus teaches us, saying: 

The Lord’s Prayer

POP: faithful acts

By Leave a Comment

It is good to give you thanks, O Lord,
and to sing praises to your name, O Most High.
We celebrate your loving-kindness to us every day
and your faithfulness night by night.
With every good gift you have given, we worship you.

You have made your people glad with your faithful acts, O Lord,
and we shout for joy at your righteous works.
Teach us to use your gifts rightly,
to do good to all people and build them up,
and to allow your beauty to flourish in this world.

We pray for the healing of those who are ill,
for the guidance of those who are strong,
for the reconciliation of those who are enemies,
and for the comfort of those who are grieving.
Let your kingdom flourish among us,
O Lord, our Rock.
We pray in Jesus’ name, saying together:

The Lord’s Prayer
