General Intercessions for the Second Sunday of Lent, Cycle B

Celebrant: St. Paul reminds us that God is present to us in our needs.  Let us now bring those needs before our generous and compassionate Lord.

Deacon/Lector:

That during this Lenten season, the Church throughout the world will seek renewal in mind and spirit, we pray to the Lord…

That Church leaders will inspire the people by their authentic example of Christian living and service to the Gospel, we pray to the Lord…

That civil leaders will always be mindful of protecting the rights of the people they have been chosen to serve, we pray to the Lord…

That as the apostles saw the glory of God in Jesus, we too may see that every human life, even when frail and feeble, is a reflection of God's glory, we pray to the Lord...

That the sick may unite their suffering with the suffering of Christ who carries our burdens with us, we pray to the Lord…

That those who have died and are awaiting the day of perfection may share in the triumph of Christ, we pray to the Lord…

Celebrant:

Father, we trust in your great mercy and love. 
We ask you to grant these prayers and all things through your Son,
Our Lord Jesus Christ.  Amen.
