GENERAL INTERCESSIONS / 28th SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME
OCTOBER 10-11, 2020
God of Welcome, help us to accept the invitation to Your
banquet with grateful and loving hearts.
God of Justice, as Columbus Day is observed in many cities,
we ask for an open heart that recognizes, and fights, the
systemic racism, oppression, and pain suffered by our Native
American, along with our African American, sisters and
brothers.
God of Love, as our St. Vincent de Paul Parish
Community gathers in unique ways during this
pandemic, help us to maintain the special relationships,
that unite us as a faith community, until we are all
together again.
God of Justice, we pray that this election season will
allow for honest and reasonable discourse that will
ultimately result in healing the division that exists in our
country.
God of Mercy, we mourn all who have died, especially those
killed by gun violence in our city. May they find peace in your
loving embrace.
