13th Sunday in Ordinary Time – Bidding prayers

Introduction (by the Presider): We turn to God on whom we can rely.

  1. That those who lead in the Church may have the gift of courage (pause for quiet prayer). Lord, hear us.
  2. That Christian men and women may be spared from half-heartedness (pause for quiet prayer). Lord, hear us.
  3. That those on holidays may be refreshed (pause for quiet prayer). Lord, hear us.
  4. That all who travel may journey safely (pause for quiet prayer). Lord, hear us.
  5. That people who worry may have good friends to help them (pause for quiet prayer). Lord, hear us.
  6. That God may help each of us in our own needs (pause for quiet 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 they may rejoice in the Lord’s house forever’ (pause for quiet prayer). Lord, hear us.

Conclusion (by the Presider): O God, our refuge and our strength, hear the prayer we make this day, through Christ our Lord. Amen.

This liturgy, for use in parishes in Holy Week, is a celebration of God’s forgiveness, and of our reconciliation with God and one another. The service has four parts. After a brief introduction (the first part), people listen to God’s word and reflect on it. Then all  celebrate the Rite of Reconciliation, during which everyone will have the opportunity of going to Confession. The service ends with an Act of Thanksgiving.
