Prayers of the Faithful for Monday, 13th Week in Ordinary Time

Option 1

2.That world leaders may have the courage of the woman in the crowd — reaching through every obstacle toward the source of healing — and not be deterred by those who ridicule their hope, let us pray to the Lord.Lord, hear our prayer.
3.For the seriously ill and those told there is no hope, that they may hear Christ's word to Jairus: Come — and to the woman: Take courage — your faith has saved you, let us pray to the Lord.Lord, hear our prayer.
4.That we may not lose faith when the situation seems too late, knowing that what looks like sleep to Christ is what the world calls death, and He can raise what He wills, let us pray to the Lord.Lord, hear our prayer.
5.That our local community may be like Saint Maria Goretti — whose feast we honour today — keeping faith in Christ through every trial, even to the giving of one's life, let us pray to the Lord.Lord, hear our prayer.
Optional:For our sick, bereaved, etc., and for all who minister to the dying.Lord, hear our prayer.
That N. and all the faithful departed may hear Christ's command — arise — and be raised to the fullness of eternal life, let us pray to the Lord.Lord, hear our prayer.

2.That all peoples may discover that the touch of Christ — sought in faith, received in humility — can heal what medicine cannot and restore what death has claimed, let us pray to the Lord.Lord, hear our prayer.
3.For young people, inspired by Saint Maria Goretti who gave her life rather than betray her purity, that they may find in Christ the strength to resist what destroys their dignity, let us pray to the Lord.Lord, hear our prayer.
4.That we may reach out in faith as the woman with the hemorrhage did — touching Christ in prayer, in the sacraments, in the poor — trusting that even this hidden contact brings healing, let us pray to the Lord.Lord, hear our prayer.
5.For our parish, that it may be a community of bold intercession: kneeling before Christ for one another, never giving up in prayer, believing He can raise even what seems beyond hope, let us pray to the Lord.Lord, hear our prayer.
Optional:For victims of sexual violence, inspired by Saint Maria Goretti's witness, that they may find healing, dignity, and justice.Lord, hear our prayer.

About Prayers of the Faithful

The Prayers of the Faithful, also known as bidding prayers or general intercessions, are an essential part of the Catholic Mass.
