Notes for this Weekend
Welcome
Welcome to our Eucharistic Celebration on this Twentieth Sunday in Ordinary Time.
We like to think of Jesus bringing peace and joy, healing and inspiration as he traveled from village to village with his disciples. But at this point in Luke’s Gospel he is making his way to Jerusalem, where he knows what he will face, and his message has become sobering. The road to redemption is difficult. Jesus knew that sin and evil must be confronted. Our own encounters with sin and evil can be divisive, as Jesus warned his disciples. Let us pray for the will and the courage to stand up for what is right and good and holy, no matter the consequences.
The intentions of this Mass are for all those in our special intention basket and...
Please stand for our procession.
Universal Prayer
A. For the Church during this “Forward in Mission” Jubilee Year, that with hearts set on fire for Jesus by the power of the Holy Spirit, we may set the world ablaze with his love, let us pray to the Lord.
B. That nations may see divisions and disagreements as opportunities for honest and constructive dialogue for the benefit of all, let us pray to the Lord.
C. For those who are imprisoned, especially those serving life sentences, that they may not grow weary and lose heart, let us pray to the Lord.
D. That families who are divided may find comfort and peace in the embrace of an all-merciful God as they cope with strained relationships and estranged family members, let us pray to the Lord.
E. For all of us, that we may persevere in running the race while keeping our eyes fixed on our Savior and Redeemer, let us pray to the Lord.
F. 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.
