10th Sunday in Ordinary Time – Bidding prayers

Introduction (by the presider): The Lord listens and has pity, the Lord comes to our help: so, my dear friends,  let us present our needs with confidence.

  1. That all people may believe in God, who raises the dead (short pause for silent prayer): Lord, hear us.
  2. That God may comfort parents whose children have been lost (short pause for silent prayer): Lord, hear us.
  3. That in these summer days, we may all have God’s protection (short pause for silent prayer): Lord, hear us.
  4. That our young people may have the help they need in their exams (short pause for silent prayer): Lord, hear us.
  5. That those who are sick may be healed (short pause for silent prayer): Lord, hear us.
  6. That people who find it hard to trust in God, may see his love in the beautiful world around them (short pause for silent prayer): Lord, hear us.

 

The presider prays for the dead, those who died during the week and those whose anniversaries occur (and the person/people for whom Mass is offered) ‘that God may raise their souls from death by his divine power ’ (pause for quiet prayer). Lord, hear us.

 

Conclusion (by the Presider): Lord our God, you restore us to life, you change our mourning into dancing: support in our time of trial and hear our prayers, through Christ our Lord. Amen.

I was never too happy with herding the entire school community into a church for a beginning of year or end of year liturgical extravaganza.
A youth liturgy group was set up; not a children’s liturgy group, by the way, as the members range in age from sixteen to the mid twenties. This group was given the responsibility of organizing liturgies on five or six occasions during the liturgical year.

Harvest Thanksgiving

A parish’s harvest thanksgiving can take the form of a special Eucharist or an ecumenical Service, or it can take place over the varied liturgies of a weekend. Relevant local people can be involved in in planning this event: in rural areas, members of organisations like the IFA or Macra might participate. Schoolchildren decorate the church for the celebration, reflecting all the beautiful elements of creation.
