Corpus Christi: Bidding Prayers / Intercessions / Prayer of the Faithful

Priest:
Inspired by the Holy Spirit let us give thanks to God for all our needs.

Reader:
On this great feast of Corpus Christi let us pray for all our Clergy, Deacons and ministers of Holy Communion. May they and we be ever mindful of the great gift to us of Christ’s Body and Blood, welcoming us as brothers and sisters to spread the Good News to all people.
Lord, hear us.

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.

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.

Let us pray for the souls of all the faithful who have died especially those whose anniversaries occur this week. May they rest in peace. Lord, 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.
