PRAYERS OF THE FAITHFUL
THIRTY-SECOND SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME
YEAR B
Invitation to Prayer:
My brothers and sisters,
to the God who has given us all things in Christ,
let us ask for a generous response of heartfelt prayer
for those in need,
for the good of the Church
and for the salvation of all people.
Concluding Prayer:
God, our provider,
who are the orphan’s hope and the widow’s bread,
graciously hear our prayers
and strengthen the faith of your people,
that with a simplicity of heart
we may come to trust in you alone
and hold back nothing in serving you.
Through Christ our Lord.
Or:
Lord, almighty God,
in whose care we see your concern for all people,
hear our prayers as we seek to imitate your generosity;
for in our desire to share,
we fear to give all.
Open our hands and hearts to share with others
the gifts you have given us.
Through Christ our Lord.
