19th Sunday of the Year (A) : The Universal Prayer / Bidding Prayers / Intercessions / Prayer of the Faithful

 

19th Sunday of the Year (A)

 

Priest:

Do not be afraid, Jesus tells us. Confident in his enduring mercy in the midst of our passing anxieties and dangers, let us pray for our needs and the needs of all the world.

 

Reader:

For our Holy Father Pope Francis, and all in positions of authority within the Church: that as true successors of Peter they may be living examples of the courage and compassion of Christ.. 

Lord, hear us.

 

For all who, like Peter, struggle to trust in God’s loving purposes, that they may never forget that he is always with them.

Lord, hear us.

 

For those who find prayer difficult: that God may give them the fortitude to weather the storm, until they can again feel the warmth and calm of his divine compassion.

Lord, hear us.

 

For all those who have died. May nothing ever separate them from the love of God made visible in Christ Jesus, our Lord. 

Lord, hear us.

 

Let us commend ourselves and all God’s people to the intercessions of Our Blessed Lady as we say Hail Mary…

 

Let us now pray for a moment in silence.

 

Priest:

God, our Father, grant that we who are nourished today by the Body and Blood of Christ, may be filled with his Holy Spirit, and become one body, one spirit in him. Through the same Christ our Lord. Amen.
