Bidding Prayers for Sunday 19 October

Prayer of the Faithful for the 29th Sunday in Ordinary Time

Introduction (by the Presider) Our help is in the name of the Lord, so let us bring forward our intentions:

1. That God may help Pope Leo and our bishops (we pray quietly a moment): Lord, hear us.
2. That we may all support each other (we pray quietly a moment): Lord, hear us.
3. That there may be peace in the world (we pray quietly a moment): Lord, hear us.
4. That we may stand up for people who are being bullied (we pray quietly a moment): Lord, hear us.
5. That mission workers who feel sad may not give up (we pray quietly a moment): Lord, hear us.
6. That we may share our talents with people who have little (we pray quietly a moment): Lord, hear us.

The Presider prays for the dead: That those who have died may experience the fullness of God’s love (especially N and N); especially people who have died tragically in recent weeks (we pray quietly a moment): Lord, hear us.

Conclusion (by the Presider) O Lord, you are our guard and our shade, you protect your servants in their need: hear the prayers we make to you in trust, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
