Third Sunday of Advent (Year B) : The Universal Prayer / Bidding Prayers / Intercessions / Prayer of the Faithful

Third Sunday of Advent (Year B)

 

Priest: 

The Lord is near! In a spirit of joy we bring our needs to him. 

 

Reader: 

Let us pray for Pope Francis and all our clergy.  May they help us to prepare a way for the Lord in our lives.  May we be ready for our Saviour when he comes again. 

Lord, hear us. 

 

For our world: for mercy and justice for rich and poor alike, for freedom from tyranny and oppression and for a time of peace and tranquillity for all peoples. 

Lord, hear us.

 

For those suffering from physical or emotional pain and for all who are weighed down with worry, guilt or despair that in this season of hope they may be restored and comforted. 

Lord, hear us.

 

Let us commend ourselves and all God's people, both living and dead, to the intercession of Our Blessed Lady - Hail Mary.

 

Let us now pray in the silence of our hearts, remembering those who need our prayers.

 

Priest: 

Heavenly Father, we ask you to listen to our petitions and generously heed our humble prayers, through Christ Our Lord. Amen.
