Twenty-first Sunday of the Year

The Priest says:
My brothers and sisters, God our Father wants all mankind to be saved, and call us to the knowledge of the truth. Let us pray to him with all our hearts.

Reader:
For the Holy Catholic Church,
that pastors may lead in faith and serve in love the flock which has been entrusted to their care, let us pray to the Lord.
Lord, hear us. Lord, graciously hear us.

For the peoples of the world,
that the whole world may rejoice in the blessing of true peace, the peace which Christ himself gives to us, let us pray to the Lord.
Lord, hear us. Lord, graciously hear us.

For those in need and for those who care for them,
that our suffering brothers and sisters may have their sorrow turned into lasting joy, let us pray to the Lord.
Lord, hear us. Lord, graciously hear us.

For the souls of those killed in the air disaster in Madrid, for the injured, the bereaved and the medical and emergency agencies,
that in the midst of sorrow they may know the comfort of Christ's love.
Lord, hear us. Lord, graciously hear us.

Let us ask Our Lady, to bring our prayers before the presence of the Father: Hail Mary ...

We make our own petitions in silence.

The priest concludes the prayers:
Almighty and eternal God, maker of all things in heaven and earth: mercifully accept the prayers of your people, and strengthen us to do your will; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
