Prayers of the Faithful for Fifteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time

Sunday | Liturgical Color: Green

Readings: Am 7:12-15 · Eph 1:3-14 or 1:3-10 · Mk 6:7-13 (Lectionary 104)

The readings in brief: Amos, told by the priest of Bethel to prophesy elsewhere, answers that he was a herdsman and a dresser of sycamores when the Lord took him from the flock. Saint Paul blesses God, who chose us in Christ before the foundation of the world. Jesus sends the Twelve out two by two, with a staff but no bread, bag or money.

Introduction (priest): Brothers and sisters, God knows what we need before we ask. With trust, let us bring him the needs of the Church, the world and all who suffer.

Concluding prayer (priest): Father, hear the prayers of your people. Give us what we truly need and the grace to do your will. Through Christ our Lord. Amen.
