The Priest says:
Jesus invites us to the banquet of the Kingdom of Heaven. If we are ever reluctant to accept this invitation, may he encourage us with his grace, as he answers our earnest prayers.
Reader:
For the Catholic Church in all the world,
that the Holy Spirit will guide and inspire the leaders of the Church, and render all her enemies powerless, let us pray to the Lord.
Lord, hear us. Lord, graciously hear us.
For peace and justice in the world,
that civil officials may not oppose the will of God, and that the people of our land may choose leaders who will guide us in the path of righteousness, let us pray to the Lord. Lord, hear us. Lord, graciously hear us.
For the sick and those who care for them,
that those who feel God is distant from them may realise that he alone is the Way, the Truth and the Life, let us pray to the Lord.
Lord, hear us. Lord, graciously hear us.
For those departed this life,
that those who have left this life in faith and fear may find eternal happiness in heaven, let us pray to the Lord.
Lord, hear us. Lord, graciously hear us.
Now let us pray with Mary, Mother of all Christians: Hail Mary...
We make our own prayers in moment of silence.
The priest concludes the prayers:
O God, the creator of life and author of every good thing, be merciful to those who transgress your laws, enlighten their minds to the error of their ways, and give them the humility to acknowledge their fault. We ask this through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Amen.
