18th Sunday of Ordinary Time
Father of everlasting goodness, our origin and guide, be close to us and hear the prayers of all who praise you. Forgive our sins and restore us to life. Keep us safe in your love. We ask this through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns with your and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.

God our Father, gifts without measure flow from your goodness to bring us your peace. Our life is your gift. Guide our life's journey, for only your love makes us whole. Keep us strong in your love. We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen.
