Prayer of the Faithful
9. Ordinary Time I
Priest’s Introduction
Dear brothers and sisters,
gathered as one to celebrate the good things
we have received from our God,
let us ask him to prompt in us
prayers that are worthy of his hearing.
Intentions
1. For Francis our Pope and N. our Bishop
and all the clergy,
with the people entrusted to their charge,
let us pray to the Lord.
2. For those who hold public office
and those who assist them in promoting the common good,
let us pray to the Lord.
3. For those who travel by sea, land or air,
for captives and all held in prison,
let us pray to the Lord.
4. For all of us gathered in this sacred place
by faith and devotion
and by love and reverence for God,
let us pray to the Lord.
Priest’s Prayer
May the petitions of your Church
be pleasing in your sight, O Lord,
so that we may receive from your mercy
what we cannot ask out of confidence in our own merits
Through Christ our Lord.
R. Amen.
