3rd Sunday in Ordinary Time : The Universal Prayer / Bidding Prayers / Intercessions / Prayer of the Faithful

Third Sunday in Ordinary Time (B)
Follow me!

Priest:
We are the Body of Christ on earth. Through our eyes he looks with compassion on the world. Let us now bring to our Father in heaven the needs of the Church and of the world.

Reader:
For Pope Francis; clergy and religious; and for the whole Church. May we work together in our calling to be faithful witnesses, and so draw all we meet to experience the love and power of the Gospel.
Lord, hear us.

For vocations to the priesthood, permanent diaconate and religious life. May the Holy Spirit guide the hearts and minds of those called by the Lord and give them courage to commit their lives unstintingly to the service of others.
Lord, hear us.

For the sick, the elderly and those who are housebound; for all doctors, nurses, and carers. May they know the comforting love and the healing power of Christ.
Lord, hear us.

For all who have departed this life.
May Christ, the light of the world, draw them to new life and fullness of redemption in the heavenly kingdom.
Lord, hear us.

We ask Our Lady, Seat of Wisdom, for her intercession, as we pray: Hail Mary…

We pause in silent reflection with our personal intentions.

Priest:
Father, fill us with the fulness of your grace
That our feet may carry far and wide the good news of Christ,
and by the work of our hands, he may bless the whole world.
We make these and all our prayers through the same Jesus Christ, your Son, Our Lord. Amen
