Biddings / Intercessions for the Fifth Sunday of the Year

The Priest says:
Let us call with faith upon God our Father, through Jesus Christ his beloved Son, in the Holy Spirit, who inspires our prayer, for the needs of the Church and of the world.


Reader:

Let us pray for all priests in this year of priests
may the Lord keep them all close to his heart, and bless them abundantly in time and in eternity. 
Lord, hear us. Lord, graciously hear us.

We pray for all the peoples of the world,
that the Lord may unite all peoples in peace and harmony,
Lord, hear us. Lord, graciously hear us.

We pray for all our brothers and sisters in need and those who care for them,
that the Lord may assist them in their need.
Lord, hear us. Lord, graciously hear us.

We pray for all who have gone to their rest in the hope of rising again,
that they may come into the light of God's presence,
Lord, hear us. Lord, graciously hear us.

Now let us joining our prayers with the prayers of Our Lady: Hail Mary.

We make our private petitions to God in a moment of silence.


The priest concludes the prayers:
Father,
we come before you in faith and love
to praise your goodness and acknowledge our need.
We ask you to hear the prayers
we make in the name of Jesus the Lord. Amen.
