GENERAL INTERCESSIONS
OCTOBER 24, 2010 30th SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME
_________________________________________________________________________
Celebrant:
Jesus calls us to go to all nations, to proclaim His Gospel and to build His Church. On this World Mission Sunday, as all local churches unite in prayer and sacrifice at the Table of the Lord, we ask God’s blessing that, through our prayers and offerings, the “Good News” of Jesus may be proclaimed to all the world.
Deacon/Lector:
For our Holy Father, Pope Benedict XVI, first missionary of the Church, and for all missionaries who give their lives to tell the glory of the Lord to the world, that they may be loving, wise, and holy witnesses of Christ, our Savior, we pray to the Lord ...
For those who are ill or who live in spiritual loneliness, that they may unite their sufferings with the Crucified Christ for the redemption of the world, we pray to the Lord …
For an increase in our own missionary spirit, so that, nourished by the Eucharist, we may help the message and love of our Lord be made known in every corner of the world, we pray to the Lord …
For our departed loved ones, especially Cirino Carroccetto (Sir-ee-no Care-o-chet-to), David Joyner, and Arle May (and ____________________________), that the angels may receive them into Paradise, we pray to the Lord...
Celebrant:
Father,
You bless us with the gift of faith. Increase our faith as we answer the call to take part in the worldwide mission of Jesus. We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen.
