Prayers Of The Faithful – July 11

For Pope Francis and for a swift and compete recovery from his recent surgery.
We pray to the Lord.

For our country as aboriginal peoples, our government, our Churches and all people of good will work to achieve reconciliation by discovering the truth about our shared past.
We pray to the Lord.

For Bishop Christian, his priests and all our Pastoral Workers as we anticipate an end to pandemic restrictions and greater freedom to gather and share our faith and be disciples.
We pray to the Lord.

For those who work on the waters and fish our oceans and for those who protect our country and sailors on the sea and for the protection of Mary, Star of the Sea, as the Church marks Sea Sunday.
We pray to the Lord.

For the safety of those who are beginning to travel and people returning to work and for the safety of our children and grandchildren and for a carefree summer for them.
We pray to the Lord.

For people who are ill, awaiting surgery or treatment, and for anyone who carries the burden of chronic mental illness and for all their families.
We pray to the Lord.

For those who have died: Marie Mackie, James Burns, Isabel Finley, Theresa Johnson, Marjorie Loughery; that they will join the ranks of the Church Triumphant in Heaven.
We pray to the Lord.
