Theme for Pentecost 9

Intercessions are a major focus in today's readings. Abraham interceded for Sodom and was minimally effective. Jesus intercedes for us and is completely effective, securing our heavenly Father's favor and his best gifts.

Hymn #766

Alleluia. I tell you, ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. Alleluia.

O Lord, let Your merciful ears be attentive to the prayers of Your servants, and by Your Word and Spirit teach us how to pray that our petitions may be pleasing before You; through Jesus Christ, Your Son, our Lord, who lives and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever.
