Palm Sunday (B): The Universal Prayer / Bidding Prayers / Intercessions / Prayer of the Faithful

Palm Sunday (B)
“In truth this man was a son of God.”

Priest:
God the Father sent His son Jesus to redeem the world through His suffering and death, let us offer Him our prayers for the whole of humanity.

Reader:
Let us pray for all Christians:
May they embrace the joy of this Holy Week and grow in faith, penitence and mercy.
Lord, hear us.

Let us pray for the Holy Father, our Bishops and all Christian leaders:
may they proclaim with courage and conviction the Gospel of the crucified Christ.
Lord, hear us.

Let us pray for the leaders of nations and peoples:
May they use their power to protect the poor, preserve freedom and promote lasting justice and peace.
Lord, hear us.

Let us pray for all the dead, especially for those who die alone, unloved and unwanted:
may the Lord may receive them into his Kingdom.
Lord, hear us.

We now seek the intercession of Our Blessed Lady, Help of Christians, as we say. Hail Mary

In the silence of our hearts we offer to the Father our personal intentions.

Priest:
Almighty God, who allowed your Son to suffer for our salvation,
answer our prayers and grant us the grace to follow the example of Jesus,
who is Lord for ever and ever. Amen.
