General Intercessions for the Twenty-Seventh Sunday in Ordinary Time, Cycle C

Celebrant: With full trust and faith, we bring our needs before the Lord.

Deacon/Lector:

That the pastors of the Church will stir into flame the many and varied gifts which the Spirit gives to the laity, and always encourage them, we pray to the Lord...

That there may be an end to the violence of crime, war, abortion and oppression, we pray to the Lord…

That God's people may take an active, informed, and responsible role as citizens of our great nation, we pray to the Lord...

That those who no longer practice the faith, especially among our own families, may not harden their hearts but rather hear the Lord calling them back, we pray to the Lord...

That the sick may be comforted and healed, and in turn serve the needs of others, we pray to the Lord...

That all who have died may be received into everlasting life and joy, we pray to the Lord...

Celebrant:

Father, 
You call us to hope for salvation
And for all other good things.
Hear our prayers,
And strengthen our desire to serve You always.
We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen.
