Prayer of the Faithful For 23rd August 2026 Justice Sunday Introduction Today we celebrate Justice Sunday. The Gospel reminds us to know Jesus, follow Him and live His message in our daily lives. Let us bring our prayers before our loving Father. Prayer of the faithful Celebrant : Jesus asks His disciples, "Who do you say that I am?" With faith in Jesus and trust in God, let us place our prayers before Him. Response : God of justice, hear our prayer. For the Church: For the Holy Father, Bishops, Priests, Religious and all the Faithful, that they may follow Jesus and work for justice, love and peace, we pray to the Lord. For Our Nation: For our country and its leaders, that they may make wise decisions, protect the dignity of every person and work for peace and unity, we pray to the Lord. For Lower Kajuwadi: For the people of Lower Kajuwadi, as they celebrate their patron, St. Alberto Hurtado, who cared for the poor and gave shelter to those without a home, that they may follow his example of love, service and care for those in need, we pray to the Lord. For Those in Need: For the poor, sick, lonely and those who face injustice, that they may find help, hope and people who care for them, we pray to the Lord. For Community and Personal Needs: Let us pray in silence for our community and personal needs…(Pause), we pray to the Lord. (Let us now pray silently for our own personal intentions and for the needs of our community…… we pray to the Lord.) Celebrant : Loving Father, hear our prayers. Help us to know Jesus, follow Him and bring His love and justice to those around us. Through Christ our Lord. Amen.
