Bidding Prayers/ Intercessions for the Fourth Sunday of Advent
The Priest introduces the prayers:
My brothers and sisters in Christ, let us bring to the love of God our Father the cares and concerns of our hearts.
Reader:
We bring to his love all those called to serve Christ in his Church;
that they may not flinch from responding to their calling, but rather abandon themselves to his guidance and protection.
Lord, hear us. Lord, graciously hear us.
We bring to his love all who hold positions of authority throughout our world;
that they may be filled with integrity and a sense of responsibility
and stand firm for what is right and just.
We pray especially at this time for the people of Aleppo in their time of great suffering.
Lord, hear us. Lord, graciously hear us.
We bring to his love the friends and neighbours we meet regularly,
that our daily care of one another may nurture strong growth of Christian love in our society.
Lord, hear us. Lord, graciously hear us.
We bring to his love the sick and those who care for them,
may they experience God's unending compassion.
Lord, hear us. Lord, graciously hear us.
We bring to his love those departed this life,
may the Lord embrace them with his love.
Lord, hear us. Lord, graciously hear us.
Let us unite our prayers with those of our blessed Lady, saying: Hail Mary...
We pray in silence for all our needs.
The Priest concludes the prayers:
Now Father, thankful for your love,
we ask you to accept our prayers, through Christ Jesus your Son. Amen.
