Intercessions for Populus Zion

Let us pray for the whole Church of God in Christ Jesus and for all people according to their needs.  

For the Church of Christ, that amid the tumult and trouble of these days, we be a people with uplifted heads and hearts, looking for the day of our redemption.  Lord, in your mercy, R.

For our nation and armed forces, and for all the nations of the world, that those entrusted with positions of public service might serve honorably and well for the benefit of others.  Lord in your mercy, R.

For our parish, that in the Word of Christ that does not pass away we find the strength to endure whatever trials our Lord sees fit to send us.  Lord, in your mercy, R.

For our daycare, school, high school, and all the schools of the Church, for all our baptized children, that our young people may constantly be nurtured in the hope of our redemption at Christ’s appearing.  Lord, in your mercy, R.

For all who are ill or in need, the sick, the imprisoned, the lonely and the grieving, especially ...that they be given patience to endure and hope for the future, looking always for healing in the hands of Christ.  Lord, in your mercy, R.

For a worthy reception of Christ’s body and blood, that all who come to the altar today may greet the Lord in repentance and faith. Lord, in Your mercy, R.

Let us commemorate the Blessed Virgin Mary, St. Joseph her husband, St. John the Baptist, Sts. Peter and Paul and all the faithful gone before us, asking God to give us grace that we may join them in the feast that never ends.  Lord, in your mercy, R.

Into Your hands, O Lord, we commend all for whom we pray, trusting in Your mercy, through Jesus Christ, our Lord.  Amen.
