¹⁵ When they had finished eating, Jesus said to Simon Peter, “Simon son of John, do you love me more than these?”

“Yes, Lord,” he said, “you know that I love you.”

Jesus said, “Feed my lambs.”

¹⁶ Again Jesus said, “Simon son of John, do you love me?”

He answered, “Yes, Lord, you know that I love you.”

Jesus said, “Take care of my sheep.”

¹⁷ The third time he said to him, “Simon son of John, do you love me?”

Peter was hurt because Jesus asked him the third time, “Do you love me?” He said, “Lord, you know all things; you know that I love you.”

Jesus said, “Feed my sheep. ¹⁸ Very truly I tell you, when you were younger you dressed yourself and went where you wanted; but when you are old you will stretch out your hands, and someone else will dress you and lead you where you do not want to go.” ¹⁹ Jesus said this to indicate the kind of death by which Peter would glorify God. Then he said to him, “Follow me!”

Prayers of the Church
October 12th, 2025

Almighty God, You show mercy to Your people in all their troubles.

Grant us Your Spirit to faithfully recognize the blessings of Your goodness and generosity, give thanks for Your compassion, and praise Your holy name. Lord, in Your mercy,

Eternal Father, You saved us through the washing of rebirth and renewal by the Holy Spirit, whom You poured out on us generously through Jesus Christ our Savior.

We give You thanks for the Baptisms of Michael Albert Noone, son of Kieran and Cornelia,
and Nixon Knox Trevino, son of Alexander and Naydeer.

Through Holy Baptism, You have opened Your kingdom to people of all ages.
Grant Michael, Nixon, and all Your baptized children lifelong faith, nurtured by Your Word.
Lord, in Your mercy,

God of love, You created marriage as an honorable estate
that gives us a picture of the very communion of Christ and His bride, the Church.

We give You thanks for 26 years of marriage for Tom and Teresa Scavuzzo.
Trusting in Your grace alone, preserve them and all spouses in faith,
and generously bless them with continued wedded bliss until this life’s end,
when You, O Lord, will welcome us to the celebration that has no end. Lord, in Your mercy,

God of all help, You hear the cries of the righteous
and deliver them from their troubles and fears.

Remember all who cry to You for mercy, especially Lauri Allen, Mark Benkendorf, Richard Crompton, Evelyn Morales, Jacob Ross, Phyllis Talmage, Ray Whitney, those listed in our prayers and those written on our hearts…
Help and heal them, according to Your good and gracious will. Lord, in Your mercy,

Lord God, You will not abandon us to the realm of the dead,
nor will You let Your faithful ones see decay.
We pray for all who grieve, especially…

the family and friends of Marilyn Boyden, mother of Matthew and Nathan Boyden;
the family and friends of Joe Clark, father of Kelli Jo Paul;
the family and friends of Patricia Crane, mother of Dale and Kimberly;
the family and friends of Kevin Meier, husband of Cathy Meier;
the family and friends of Diane Reed, mother of Chad, sister of Dennis Cole.

Graciously give Your consoling love and peace.
You are our Rock, our Fortress, and our Deliverer. Lord, in Your mercy,

Gracious God, You meet all our needs,
according to the riches of Your glory in Christ Jesus.

For those who worry about finances, employment, health, and security,
calm anxieties with knowledge that our life is secure in Your redeeming love.

Give comfort in the great and gracious promises You have made in Your Gospel.
Sustain and strengthen Your people under every cross and affliction,
that Your grace may be made perfect in weakness. Lord, in Your mercy,

Everlasting God, watch over all who exercise authority in our nation.
Give them integrity, justice, and compassion. Lord, in Your mercy,

Lord God Almighty, even as You generously bless Your servants
with various and unique gifts of the Holy Spirit, continue to grant us the grace
to generously use them always to Your honor and glory.

Through Your Son, Jesus Christ, our Lord,
who lives and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever. Amen.
