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

Celebrant: Moses kept his hands raised in prayer for all God's people. We also bring the needs of our brothers and sisters before God's throne today.

Deacon/Lector:

That believers in all parts of the world may always enjoy the freedom to pray in public and to worship God according to His command, we pray to the Lord...

That government leaders and candidates for public office may always acknowledge that the source of all law and authority is in God alone, we pray to the Lord...

That God's people may persevere in their prayers and works to eliminate abortion, infanticide, euthanasia, and every form of injustice against human life, we pray to the Lord... 

For deeper unity, understanding, and practical cooperation between the different Christian denominations, we pray to the Lord...

That all in need of our prayers, especially the sick and dying, may be surrounded by God's grace and healing love, we pray to the Lord...

For our departed loved ones, that the angels may receive them into Paradise, we pray to the Lord...

Celebrant:

Father, 
We thank you for the power of prayer,
Which is simply the power of your love.
Give us the joy of knowing that love
All the days of our lives.
We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen.
