General Intercessions for the Fourth Sunday of Advent, Cycle C

Celebrant: Like the Virgin Mary, let us pray now, trusting that the Lord's promises to us will be fulfilled.

Deacon/Lector:

That the Church of Jesus Christ may always be joyful in proclaiming His coming, we pray to the Lord...

That Christ, the Shepherd of all nations, will guide world leaders and their peoples in the ways of peace and justice, we pray to the Lord...

That as Mary helped Elizabeth, so we may help those who are pregnant to care for their unborn children, we pray to the Lord……

That the sick and the dying may not be neglected by those around them, but loved and strengthened, we pray to the Lord...

That those who have died may be welcomed into the life that never ends, we pray to the Lord...

Celebrant:

Father, your Son Jesus Christ
offered Himself for our sake.
Grant us salvation in Him, who is the answer to all our prayers,
and who is Lord forever and ever. Amen.
