29th Week in Ordinary Time Prayers (weekdays)

I call upon you, God, for you will answer me; bend your ear and hear my prayer. Guard me as the pupil of your eye; hide me in the shade of your wings. (Ps 17:6,8)

Almighty and ever-living God, our source of power and inspiration, give us strength and joy in serving you as followers of Christ, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.

Lord our God, Father of all, you guard us under the shadow of your wings and search into the depths of our hearts. Remove the blindness that cannot know you and relieve the fear that would hide us from your sight.

Lord God, may the gifts we offer bring us your love and forgiveness and give us freedom to serve you with our lives.

See how the eyes of the Lord are on those who fear him, on those who hope in his love, that he may rescue them from death and feed them in time of famine. (Ps 33:18-19)

The Son of Man came to give his life as a ransom for many. (Mk 10:45)

Lord, may this eucharist help us to remain faithful. May it teach us the way to eternal life.
