Corpus Christi (B)
Priest:
In this great feast of Corpus Christi, bread is made flesh by words from heaven: may the merciful Father hear the petitions we now make and transform our lives with his love.
Reader:
Let us pray for all Bishops, Priests, Deacons and Extraordinary ministers of Holy Communion. May we never cease to see in this bread of life, the living body which is our food.
Lord, hear us.
For an increased devotion to the Eucharist, where we are truly present at the Last Supper and the Banquet of Heaven. May the Eucharist we share bring us reconciliation, love and hope.
Lord, hear us.
For peace in the world; we remember [especially … and] all affected by the horrors of war, conflict, violence and terrorism. May governments have regard for the poor and vulnerable in the decisions they take.
Lord, hear us.
For the sick, especially those approaching the end of their earthly lives:
may Christ may be present to them in their suffering, and may they be able to welcome his sacramental presence at the hour of their death.
Lord, hear us.
For all the holy souls:
May they all come to share in the eternal banquet of heaven.
Lord, hear us.
We ask Mary, Mother of the Lord, to intercede with us for all God’s people, living and dead, as we say together: Hail Mary …
We pray in silence for our private intentions.
Priest:
Heavenly Father, in the action of this mass you take the lowly gifts of earth and transform them into the food of heaven: take our prayers today, our woes and our joys, and transform them into everlasting joy. We make this prayer through the Host of saving power, Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
