[Sundaycommunity] Fwd: Prayers of the Faithful at the inaugral day Mass with Joe Biden and Kamala Harriss families

[Dwyer Sullivan]

Hello all,
Here are the Prayers of the Faithful from the Inaugural Mass that Joe Biden
and Kamala Harris' family attended. A few people asked me to email it to
them and Elizabth just gave me the correct email. It is a wonderful focus
for our prayers and actions that these are able to be put into practice.
Peace,
Dwyer

Hello all - here are the impressive and meaningful Prayers of the Faithful
I mentioned this morning before the Liturgy, but there are the only emails
I know. So Elizabeth, would you please consider sending these out to the
other members of the Sunday community. They fit in well with Hobo;'s asking
of prophetic words being shared.

Peace, Dwyer


The Lord is near to all who call to him. With confidence in God's love and
mercy, we offer now these prayers for the world, our nation and all those
in need.

For the health and strength of our Holy Father, Pope Francis, who calls us
to go to the margins to seek out the lost, the forgotten and the despised;
and for ministers from different faith traditions working for justice and
reconciliation among all peoples.

For the health and strength of Joe and Jill Biden, and Kamala Harris and
Doug Emhoff: May they be blessed with wisdom and courage, with persistent
hope and enlightened vision.

For peace throughout the world and an end to war and aggression; for those
risking their lives to protect and provide humanitarian aid to innocent
peoples; and for those serving in our military and foreign service.

For those suffering from the effects of a warming climate; for all those
who are bringing to light the threats to the environment and who are
seeking ways to heal our planet.

For immigrants and refugees and those suffering under oppression or
occupation. For a change of heart in authoritarian dictators across the
globe. And for journalists who are threatened or killed in pursuit of the
truth.

For the protection of life, from the vulnerable young to the frail elderly,
for the poor and those whose lives are seen as less worthy of protection.

For the healing of our nation; for a deepened commitment to advance racial
justice and to find common ground to serve the common good together, and to
live with a spirit of humility and empathy modeled after the life of Jesus.

For those suffering from the current pandemic, especially the most
vulnerable; for those on the front lines of care and those providing
services for us all; for the success of the vaccines and for the strength
to remain vigilant in our protection of one another.

For the beloved members of the Biden and Harris families who have died, and
for all those who have died from COVID-19, that our merciful and loving
Lord may give eternal rest to them as well as consolation to their families
and loved ones who mourn.

Just and merciful God, you bless your people with peace, and bestow on us
gifts beyond our understanding.

Hear our prayers for your people in need, so that all may share in your
abundance and your glory.

We ask this in the name of your Son, our Lord and redeemer, now and forever.

R: Amen.
