Prayers of the Faithful for Eleventh Sunday in Ordinary Time

Sunday | Liturgical Color: Green

Readings: Ez 17:22-24 · 2 Cor 5:6-10 · Mk 4:26-34 (Lectionary 92)

The readings in brief: Ezekiel hears God promise to plant a tender shoot on a high mountain, where it will become a great cedar and shelter every kind of bird. Saint Paul says that we walk by faith, not by sight, and aim to please the Lord. Jesus compares the kingdom of God to seed that grows by itself, and to a mustard seed, the smallest of seeds, which becomes the largest of plants.

Introduction (priest): The Lord is near to all who call on him. Let us turn to him now and pray for our brothers and sisters everywhere.

Concluding prayer (priest): Lord our God, listen to the prayers we make with faith, and grant also what we have not known how to ask. Through Christ our Lord. Amen.
