Universal Prayer for Sunday and weekday Masses

Prayers of the faithful

prayers.jpg

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.


 

Intercessions 14th Sunday and Week in Ordinary Time

Saturday July 7 to July 12

This week is for us in Australia our National Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Observance Week. A daily petition for Australian parishes and communities are included.

Adelaide will celebrate the 29th anniversary of the dedication of our Cathedral of St Francis Xavier on Thursday. A separate set of petitions is prepared for the Archdiocese of Adelaide.

The Cathedral, the first purpose remaining Cathedral built in Australia was blessed and opened on July 11, 1858 and dedicated on the same day in 1996 when it's tower was finally completed.

Our first bishop, Francis Murphy, who began the work died just under three months before it's opening and is buried beneath the sanctuary. That honour was a tribute to his respect among all the people, since when the Colony of South Australia was formed there were to be "no convicts or papists".
