17th Sunday in Ordinary Time (B) : Bidding Prayers
Priest:
Knowing that the Father is close to all who call on him from their hearts, we place our needs before him.
Reader:
For Francis our Pope, for Archbishop Bernard, for the auxiliary bishops, for Fr Peter 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.
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.
We turn in prayer to our Blessed Lady. Hail Mary ...
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.
