SAMPLE UNIVERSAL PRAYERS
The Sixth Sunday in Ordinary Time, Cycle A
February 14-15, 2026
Priest: Blessed are those who seek the Lord and follow in his ways; to him we offer our prayers for ourselves and for our world:
Deacon (or other reader if there is no deacon):
Priest: O Wise and Loving God, out of your infinite love for us you granted us the gift of free will to choose our own paths in life, and the grace of your commandments to guide us. Open our hearts to your mysterious and hidden wisdom that your Holy Spirit might reveal to us how to walk in the ways of your law, and that, with a spirit of humility and trust, we might eagerly follow. Through Christ our Lord. Amen.
