Priest: Brothers and sisters, with confidence in the love of the Father, the mercy of the Son, and the power of the Holy Spirit, let us bring our prayers before the Most Holy Trinity.
Reader: For the holy Catholic Church:
that rooted ever more deeply in the life of the Blessed Trinity, she may faithfully proclaim the Gospel and draw all people into communion with God.
Lord, hear us.
Reader: For our Holy Father, bishops, priests, and deacons:
that strengthened by the grace of Christ and guided by the Holy Spirit, they may shepherd the people of God in truth and holiness.
Lord, hear us.
Reader: For peace in the world:
that nations torn by violence, hatred, and division may be led toward justice, reconciliation, and lasting peace.
Lord, hear us.
Reader: For families and homes:
that the love shared within the Most Holy Trinity may strengthen marriages, heal wounds, and help parents hand on the Catholic faith faithfully to their children.
Lord, hear us.
Reader: For those who feel lonely, anxious, or far from God:
that they may discover in the Church a true spiritual home and know the healing love of the Father.
Lord, hear us.
Reader: For our parish community:
that nourished by the sacraments and united in charity, we may grow together in holiness and become faithful witnesses to Christ in the world.
Lord, hear us.
Reader: For the faithful departed:
that having passed through death in hope, they may now behold forever the glory of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit in heaven.
Lord, hear us.
Reader: Let us now offer our own prayers in silence. (pause)
Reader: Let us ask the prayers of Our Lady, daughter of the Father, mother of the Son, and spouse of the Holy Spirit. All: Hail Mary…
Priest: Father, through Your Son and in the Holy Spirit,
hear the prayers we place before You today.
Keep us always in Your love and bring us at last to the joy of eternal life.
Through Christ our Lord.
Amen.
