SEVENTEENTH SUNDAY OF THE YEAR A

That the People of God might always seek Christ and live by His Wisdom which alone can give life: we pray especially for the Holy Spirit to guide Pope Francis and the Church’s Global Synod – may the voices and experience of the whole People of God be allowed to reform and renew the Church, to be fit for our 21st Century Mission

The Spirit and Wisdom of God also seeks to draw us into unity: that the diverse peoples of our own nation, with all the challenges of our Post-Christian and secular society, might work for a new unity of global co-operation in the light of the crisis of Global warming: we pray also for the people of Yemen that their terrible suffering and for an end to war in conflict in Ukraine, Sudan and Cameroon and the birth of peace built on justice
