The Holy Guardian Angels Thursday The angels are messengers from God who guard us and care for us constantly. Let us pray that we will be aware of God’s nearness to us in our daily lives. (pause) O God, our protector, in your loving care for us guard us from every danger. Through Christ our Lord. Amen. Let’s pray... A reading from the holy Gospel according to Luke (17:20-21) Some Pharisees asked Jesus when God’s kingdom would come. Jesus answered, “God’s kingdom is not something you can see. There is no use saying, ‘Look! Here it is’ or ‘Look! There it is’. God’s kingdom is here with you.” The Gospel of the Lord Praise to you, Lord Jesus Christ. Let’s listen... Trusting that God lovingly hears us, let us place our prayers before God. For those who share their faith with others: (pause) We pray as one. Gracious God, hear our prayer. For eyes to see Jesus in those we meet: (pause) We pray as one. Gracious God, hear our prayer. For the protection of all God’s creation: (pause) We pray as one. Gracious God, hear our prayer. For hearts full of thanks for God’s gifts: (pause) We pray as one. Gracious God, hear our prayer. For the prayers in our hearts today: (pause while students offer their prayers aloud) We pray as one. Gracious God, hear our prayer. 2 October 2025 Let’s Reflect... Let’s Go Forth... May God bless us and protect us and bring us to eternal life. Amen. In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen. 177
