Bidding Prayers / Intercessions for All Saints’ Day

All Saints’ Day November 1st

The Priest introduces the prayers:
Today, we join our prayers with all the saints in heaven, who are our great cloud of witnesses, interceding for us at the right hand of the Father. Let us now ask the Lord with renewed faith, for the needs of our Church and world.

Reader:
For the Church on earth,
may the saints in heaven be an example for all Christians, that they may serve God in the way he wishes.
Lord, hear us. Lord, graciously hear us.

For peace on earth,
that those in authority may follow the example of the saints who worked for peace and love.
Lord, hear us. Lord, graciously hear us.

For those in need, and those who care for them,
that they may see in the saints who suffered the love of Christ for them.
Lord, hear us. Lord, graciously hear us.

For those who have died in the hope of new life,
may Christ bring them to share his glory with the Saints.
Lord, hear us. Lord, graciously hear us.

We pray with Mary, Queen of the Saints: Hail Mary...

In silence, we pray with the saints, to God our loving Father.

The Priest concludes the prayers:
Lord almighty, we bring before you all our needs, trusting that you will hear and answer them, as we pray with all the saints. We make this prayer through Christ our Lord. Amen.
