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

Thirteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time

The little girl got up at once and began to walk about (Mark 5:42)


Priest:
God our Father wants all humankind to be saved and calls us to the knowledge of the truth. Let us turn to Him in prayer for our needs and the needs of the world

Reader:
We pray for Pope Francis, the Bishops, all the clergy and religious,
that they may be guided by Christ, the Light of the world,
and so inspire all who look to them for leadership and direction
Lord, hear us.

We pray for all who hold public office and positions of authority:
that the Holy Spirit of wisdom and right judgement may guide their decision-making
to foster respect, justice and peace.
Lord, hear us.

For men and women, everywhere:
that they may all come to recognise God's invitation to share in his life
and respond to his call with joy.
Lord, hear us.

For those who are sick and those who care for them
For the poor and those who find it hard to make ends meet:
that God may move the hearts of those who are comfortable and secure
to undertake the works of mercy for those who are in need.
Lord, hear us.

For those who have died recently:
that they may experience the joy of new life in the risen Christ.
Lord, hear us.

We now turn to Our Lady and ask her to intercede for us as we say together Hail Mary…

In a moment of quiet reflection we bring our own prayers and petitions before the Lord.

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