General Intercessions for the Thirtieth Sunday in Ordinary Time, Cycle C

Celebrant: The prayer of the humble pierces the clouds. With confidence that God is with us, we humbly bring him our needs.

Deacon/Lector:

That the Church may preach and live the life of humility, constant repentance, and joyful fidelity, we pray to the Lord...

For all who have never heard the Gospel, that thanks to the work of preachers and the witness of each of us, all people may hear and believe the Good News, we pray to the Lord...

That God, who hears the cry of the oppressed, may inspire those in the media to be a stronger voice for the weak, the marginalized, and the unborn, we pray to the Lord… 

For all whose lives and homes have been affected by bad weather, that they may find strength from the Lord and the assistance of others, we pray to the Lord...

For the sick, the lonely, and all whom the Lord has called from this world, we pray to the Lord...

Celebrant:

Father, 
You always hear the prayers of the lowly.
Aware of our sins, we still trust you.
Grant all we need, and keep us faithful.
We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen.
