The Solemnity of All Saints : Bidding Prayers / Intercessions / Prayer of the Faithful

Priest:

Supported by the prayers of all the saints, let us make intercession for ourselves and for all the faithful.

 

Reader:

For our Holy Father, Pope Francis, for all the bishops, and for those who exercise authority and ministry in the Church, that they may remain vigilant and watchful, preparing the Church for the day of Christ’s return.

Lord, in your mercy.

 

For Saints who are persecuted for the name of Christ,

especially those in the Middle East; that God may come to their aid and give them strength to overcome their difficulties.   

Lord, in your mercy.

 

For the sick and retired priests of our diocese and for those who care for them.  We give thanks and pray in particular for the work of the Johnson Association and for Aston Hall in Stone. 

Lord, in your mercy.

 

We pray in this month of November, for all the holy souls.  

May the Lord greet them with love and mercy 

and grant them the blessings of his kingdom. 

Lord, in your mercy.

 

We turn now to our Lady, Queen of all Saints, and ask for her intercession as we say: Hail Mary… 

 

Let us now pray for our own needs and requests to the Lord in a time of silent prayer.

  

 

Priest:

Loving Father, listen to our petitions and grant us what we need, through Jesus Christ, Our Lord. Amen.
