Priest:
Knowing that the Father is close to all who call on him from their hearts, we place our needs before him.
Reader:
For Benedict our Pope, for our bishop and for priests and leaders of your Church; strengthen them in the spirit to carry out your work.
Lord in your mercy
For the hungry, the starving. In complete selflessness, May we break with them the bread of our abundance.
Lord in your mercy
We pray for all the baptised. May they live lives worthy of their vocation, bringing love where there is hatred, unity where there is division.
Lord in your mercy
For athletes from all over the world now competing at the Olympics and for the officials, May the competition be in a spirit of peace and friendship and we pray for all who are intending to go to the different venues, may they travel in safety.
Lord in your mercy
We pray for those who have departed this life. May their deepest hunger be satisfied at the banquet of eternal life.
Lord in your mercy
Priest:
God our Father, you open wide your hand and grant our desires. Nourished by the Eucharist, may we be always faithful to our baptismal calling. We ask this through Christ our Lord.
