Prayer for the 31st Sunday in Ordinary Time

I have found my peace, for I have found you, O God.
God, my heart is not filled with pride, nor do my eyes seek to see beyond my means;
I do not possess anything of greatness, nor things beyond my reach.
I am still and quiet, as a mother holds her child.

I have found my peace, for I have found you, O God.

Adapted from Psalm 131 by David Haas

Prayer for the 28th Sunday in Ordinary Time

Psalm 23

The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. In verdant pastures he gives me repose; Beside restful waters he leads me; he refreshes my soul. He guides me in right paths for his name's sake. Even though I walk in the dark valley I fear no evil; for you are at my side with your rod and your staff that give me courage. You spread the table before me in the sight of your toes; You anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows. Only goodness and kindness follow me all the days of my life; and I shall dwell in the house of the Lord for years to come.
Amen.

You are good and just, and you teach all who would fall the way to humility and justice.
Make your kindness known to me and to all who keep your promise.
If we honor you, you will show us your friendship and lead us in the way of your covenant.

I will lift you high, my hero, and bless your name forever. Every day, I will sing and dance your praise!

All of creation sings in gratitude, and the faithful ones bless you. Let them share and know of your power.

If we have heard the voice of God, may our hearts be open and true.

Come, and sing songs to God; let us shout, dance and sing praise to the rock who saves us! Enter God's house with joy, with music let us sing! Let us kneel and give worship to God. God is the one who made us, and we are the chosen people, tended like sheep by their shepherd. If we would only listen to God's voice: "Keep your hearts open and free, as on the day that your ancestors tempted me."

If we have heard the voice of God, may our hearts be open and true.

Prayer for the 17th Sunday in Ordinary Time

Lord, when you came to the seashore you weren't seeking the wise or the wealthy,
But only asking that I might follow. O Lord, in my eyes you were gazing, kindly smiling, my name you were saying; All I treasured, I have left on the sand there; close to you, I will find other seas.
Lord, have you need of my labor,
Hands for service, a heart for loving, My arms for lifting the poor and broken?
O Lord, in my eyes you were gazing, kindly smiling, my name you were saying; All I treasured, I have left on the sand there; close to you, I will find other seas.
