Pentecost : Bidding Prayers / Intercessions / Prayer of the Faithful

Pentecost

 

Priest

Inspired by the Holy Spirit, let us turn to God for all our needs. 

 

The Deacon or Reader:

For Pope Francis, Archbishop Bernard and his auxiliary bishops. May the Lord bless them with the gift of the Holy Spirit and so guide them in their work.
Lord, hear us. 

Let us pray that we, the church, should be inspired by the fellowship of the Holy Spirit so our everyday lives may be a witness to God’s love.
Lord, hear us. 

For those in need: refugees, captives, those held in slavery, especially women and children and for the healing of those who have found freedom
Lord, hear us. 

For all those who are sick, that the Lord may guide them and strengthen them through their illness. For those also who care for the sick, those engaged in the caring professions and for family members who look after loved ones and especially for children who care for parents.
Lord, hear us. .

For those who have died and received the healing sacrament in this life,. May the Lord greet them with love and mercy and grant them the happiness of his kingdom. Lord, hear us. 

Let us turn to Our Lady, to intercede for us as we say, Hail Mary...

Let us pray for our own intentions in silence.

 

Priest:

God our Father,
we pray that you will accept these prayers
through the grace of your Son,
our Lord Jesus Christ.
Amen.
