Corpus Christi (C) • The Universal Prayer / Bidding Prayers / Intercessions / Prayer of the Faithful

Corpus Christi (C)
Priest: 
We are gathered together to celebrate the great love of God in the Eucharist -spiritual nourishment to sustain us on our journey in faith.  In confidence, we pray to our Father in heaven, for the needs of the Church and for the whole world. 
Reader: 
For Pope Francis and all the clergy: 
may their faithful ministry make the love of God known throughout the world as a gift of true peace, joy and hope. 
Lord, hear us. 

For peace in the world; 
May those who have control of great destructive power withhold their hand, and may all those affected by the horrors of war, conflict, violence and terrorism, be given the hope of peace.
Lord, hear us. 

For an increased devotion to the Eucharist; 
at the breaking of bread 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 all those who have departed this life: 
[especially for those who have died recently]
that we may all meet again in the banquet of the Kingdom 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, hear our prayers for your people 
and grant us what we need, 
through Jesus Christ, Our Lord. 

Amen.
