The prayer of the faithful....

we recently met with out priest and he suggested that we personalize the prayer of the faithful. I love his suggestion, but now I am stuck. I am not a great writer. Maybe some of you creative girls can help.

These are some of the things I want to include in the prayer:
I want to honor my father who passed away 22 years ago from pancreatic cancer and any loved ones who we have lost. In addition I want to mention something about my mother who is sick with cancer.

TIA

These were mine.... hope this helps!

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 XXXXX, XXXX and XXXXXXX, (continue listing a few names of family members that have passed) May they enjoy total fulfillment in eternal life. For this we pray…. Lord, hear our prayer.
