Easter 2 (Divine Mercy Sunday) : Bidding Prayers / Intercessions / Prayer of the Faithful

Priest:

Let us turn to God asking for all our needs and the needs of the Church and of all mankind.

Reader:

For Pope Francis: May we all respond to his call that we embrace with tender affection the whole of humanity. May we serve especially the poorest, the weakest and the smallest and so open a new horizon of hope.
Lord, in your mercy.

We ask God to teach us to pray so that we can wholeheartedly praise Him, seek His mercy, show our gratitude and bring all our needs to Him
Lord in your mercy

For unbelievers and doubters: that they may come to faith and trust and love of God – may our Easter joy be contagious
Lord in your mercy

For politicians worldwide that they may never try to outlaw faith in God and the peaceful signs and symbols of religion
Lord in your mercy

Grant eternal rest to all who have died especially (NN and) we remember those who have no-one to pray for them.
Lord in your mercy

Let us ask Our Lady to join her prayers to ours as we say - Hail Mary

In silence let us bring our own intentions to God.

Priest:

Almighty God we ask you to answer all our prayers which we make in faith through Our Lord, Jesus Christ. Amen.
