Prayer of the Faithful

For anyone who personally composed their Prayer of the Faithful, would you mind sharing it with me? I don't know where to begin.

Thanks so much!!

I didn't know you could do that!



We just chose one from the together for life book...

Yeah, you can write it yourselves if you want to make it more personal. I want to do this, but don't know where to begin.

wish I knew that 6 months ago Well, actually, maybe not.... FH and I found all the decisions we had to make about the mass to be the most frustrating part of planning. Mix that with the music selections for the mass and writing up the programs, and the whole thing was cocktail-worthy don't think we could have survived another decision about the mass!

HOPE THIS HELPS!

Prayer of the Faithful:


Let us pray for our holy father on earth, Pope Benedict, all the bishops and the clergy everywhere. May they lead us to deeper faith in God and a stronger love for one another. For this we pray… Lord, hear our prayer.


Let us pray for all leaders of the world. May they make decisions based on love, working toward an end to injustice, poverty and discrimination. For this we pray… Lord, hear our prayer.


Let us pray for the lonely old and the lonely young, for the hungry rich and the hungry poor, for the sick in body, mind and spirit, for the weaknesses in all of us. For this we pray… Lord, hear our prayer.


Let us pray for all married couples. May they always cherish their special love by respecting each other as individuals, trusting each other as friends, and honoring each other as partners. For this we pray… Lord, hear our prayer.


Let us pray for Karen and Sean, now beginning their life together, that they may have divine assistance at every moment, the constant support of friends, the rich blessing of children, a warm love reaching out to others, and good health until a ripe old age. For this we pray… Lord, hear our prayer.


Let us pray for our loved ones who have died. May their memories live on in our hearts. May we find comfort in sharing our stories of them with each other and find peace in knowing that they are in the company of God. We especially remember: Sean’s mother (Name), and (we then included other names, grandparents, aunts and uncles that have passed). May they enjoy total fulfillment in eternal life. For this we pray…. Lord, hear our prayer.
