28th Sunday in Ordinary Time : The Universal Prayer / Bidding Prayers / Intercessions / Prayer of the Faithful

28th Sunday in Ordinary Time

Priest: 

God fulfils all our needs and is the source of everything we have and all that we are.  We ask Him to listen to our prayers of intercession, for we know that without Him we can do nothing.

Reader: 

We pray for the Church:  that it may radiate the example of Christ through its leaders and peoples and encourage all to be called to take on the new garments of life in Christ and so be clothed in love, truth, peace and goodness, 

Lord, hear us.

We pray that we may be responsive to the invitation of the Lord, remembering that nothing is impossible to God and that there is nothing we cannot master with the help of the one who gives us strength, 

Lord, hear us. 

We pray for the work of the St Barnabas Society   May we be generous in supporting those give up their livelihood and even their homes, to accept the invitation of Christ to enter into the true fold of the Church, Lord, hear us.

We pray for all those who have died recently and those whose anniversaries fall at this time.  May He who destroyed death and who wipes away every tear lead them through the valley of darkness into the radiance of His glorious resurrection, Lord, hear us.

We turn to Our Lady, Queen of the Rosary, and ask her to intercede with us as we say: Hail Mary

Let us pause to meet the Lord in a moment of silent prayer.

Priest: 

Heavenly Father, Shepherd of your people, in your love and compassion hear our prayers and make us always eager to accept your invitation to serve you in faith, hope and love, now and forevermore.  Amen
