Universal Prayer for Sunday and weekday Masses
Prayers of the faithful
These prayers are exactly what their name suggests – prayers of the gathered faithful. In praying this prayer, the faithful are carrying out their role of praying for the entire world as well as for the needs of the local community. No two congregations will have exactly the same prayers, since their perception of the world's needs and of the local community will vary. Therefore they are written anew for each Sunday and weekly celebrations.
17th Sunday in Ordinary Time
Sunday July 28 to Saturday August 3
The Memorial of St Dominic is celebrated on Saturday August 3 in Australia because August 8 is the Solemnity of St Mary of the Cross MacKillop, Australia's first Saint.
Those of you who are grandparents and seniors have a good day on Sunday as the whole Church prays for you.

For those, who on this Sea Sunday, make their living on the seas in cargo ships, tourist liners, and scientific vessels, that they will be kept safe, enjoy safe working conditions, and maintain contact with their families.
Lord, hear us.
Lord, hear our prayer
