Introduction
(19th
Sunday Ordinary Time)
A
pleasant day to everyone!
Today’s liturgy focuses on our vigilant
faith. We must be like faithful servants who stay awake waiting for their master.
We need to open our hearts and minds so that we shall be aware of the Lord’s
coming into our lives, be it in moments of prayer and recollection, in active
service to our brothers and sisters, or in dramatic events.
Our waiting must be an active waiting.
To begin our celebration, let us all stand
for the entrance hymn.
Prayers
of the Faithful
(19th
Sunday Ordinary Time)
(Priest): The Lord Jesus has set us as
faithful stewards over his people. May we remain ever vigilant and faithful.
Aware of our limitations, we pray.
“Lord, make us your faithful servant.”
(Reader):
· May the community
of God’s people set their hearts on never-failing treasures: faith, hope, love,
peace, and life eternal. We pray: (R)
· May our Church and
government leaders attend to the needs of the people with wisdom and
gentleness, never lording over God’s flock but giving it a shepherd’s care. We
pray: (R)
· May there be more
leaders, prophets, and witnesses of faith who will keep alive our hope for a
better world, for a more just society, for greater brotherhood and sisterhood
among men and women. We pray: (R)
· May young people
not measure success solely in terms of material possessions but instead see in
it an opportunity to render service to their neighbors. We pray: (R)
· May our beloved
dead be welcomed as good servants by the Lord in His kingdom, and there enjoy
the peace and happiness of the just. We pray: (R)
(Priest): Father, grant that we who partake in
your table of love be also eager to share this love to others.
We ask this through
Christ our Lord. Amen.
