Corpus Christi
The priest introduces the prayers:
My brothers and sisters, in the name of Jesus Christ the High Priest, in whose priesthood we share through the sacrament of baptism, we call on God our Father to answer our petitions, which we now make with confidence.
Reader:
We pray for the Church,
may the celebrations of the sacraments, especially the Holy Mass, fill us with a sense not only of God’s nearness, but also with awe at his greatness and compassion.
Lord, hear us. Lord, graciously hear us.
We pray for the leaders of the wealthy nations,
may Jesus’s concern for the hungry find a response in their hearts, so that no one in our world dies of hunger, or is forced to live in sub-human conditions.
Lord, hear us. Lord, graciously hear us.
We pray for those deprived of the sacraments,
may we be one in love and prayer with all those who are not allowed to practice their faith, and cannot receive their Lord in the eucharist.
Lord, hear us. Lord, graciously hear us.
We pray for a spirit of prayer and generosity in this parish,
may our union with Christ in the Mass lead us to a deeper personal life, and to a generous sharing of our time and talents with each other.
Lord, hear us. Lord, graciously hear us.
We pray with Mary, Mother of Jesus Christ our High Priest: Hail Mary .
We make our private petitions in silence to God our Father.
Priest:
Father,
may the prayers we have offered
come before your heavenly altar
as tokens of our trust and worship.
We ask this through Christ our Lord.
Amen.
