General Intercessions for the Sixth Sunday in Ordinary Time, Cycle C

Celebrant: We trust in the Lord above any other source of help or hope. Because he alone knows our deepest needs and is able to meet them, we now turn to him with confidence.

Deacon/Lector:

That as the Church proclaims Christ Risen from the dead, all the people of the world may find new hope in the Gospel, we pray to the Lord...

That Christ's love for the poor, the hungry, and the sorrowful may inspire his disciples in their global efforts to care for every human need, we pray to the Lord...

That God may give joy to those who are persecuted for fighting abortion, euthanasia, war, and capital punishment, we pray to the Lord…

That those who are called to the priesthood, diaconate, and religious life may hear that call clearly and respond to it generously, we pray to the Lord...

That all who have died may be purified of sin and share in the resurrection, we pray to the Lord...

Celebrant:

Father,
you bless those who are in distress
and reward those who trust in you.
As you answer our prayers,
keep us faithful in your service.
We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen.
