6th Sunday of the Year : Bidding Prayers / Intercessions / Prayer of the Faithful

Sixth Sunday in Ordinary Time, Year B

PRIEST:

Rejoice, rejoice in the Lord. With confidence we turn to our Father and place our petitions before Him.

READER:

Let us pray for our Holy Father Pope Benedict, for Our Bishop, and all priests, deacons and people of the diocese; through our faith, may we all come closer to the Lord in prayer, in hope and in joy.  
Lord in your mercy

St. Paul points the way to true happiness when he writes 'try to be helpful to everyone at all times, not seeking our own advantage but the advantage of everybody else' We pray that we may become as Christ is 'a man for others'.
Lord in your mercy

When Christ cured the Leper He asked him to show himself to the priest. We pray that we may take advantage of the great privilege we have as Catholics of seeking forgiveness in the sacrament of reconciliation.
Lord in your mercy

We pray for all married couples, may they share their lives together in mutual love and respect for each other and that the bonds of their vows in Matrimony may continue to grow ever stronger.
Lord, in your mercy.

We pray also for those who are encountering difficulties in their relationships; may they rediscover the beauty and wonder of each other, that their love may grow ever stronger. Lord in your mercy

Let us now join our prayers with the prayers of Mary, our Mother as we say together. Hail Mary…

In the silence of our hearts we make our private petitions known to God.

PRIEST:

Accept our prayers of humble petition as we place our trust in you and grant that what we ask in faith we may obtain through Christ our Lord.
