Intercession (Form V)

The Deacon or other leaders says:

Let us pray for the Church and for the world.

The People kneel. The Deacon or other leader continues:

Grant, Almighty God, that all who confess thy Name may be united in thy truth, live together in thy love, and reveal thy glory in the world.

Silence.

Lord, in thy mercy:
Hear our prayer.

Guide the people of this land, and of all the nations, in the ways of justice and peace; that we may honor one another and serve the common good.

Silence.

Lord, in thy mercy:
Hear our prayer.

Bless all whose lives are closely linked with ours, [especially  ], and grant that we may serve Christ in them, and love one another as He loves us.

Silence.

Lord, in thy mercy:
Hear our prayer.

Comfort and heal all those who suffer in body, mind, or spirit, [especially  ]; give them courage and hope in their troubles, and bring them the joy of thy salvation.

Silence.

Lord, in thy mercy:
Hear our prayer.

We commend to thy mercy all who have died, [especially  , for whom we offer this Mass], that thy will for them may be fulfilled; and we pray that we may share with the Blessed Virgin Mary, [with Saint  ], and with all thy saints in thine eternal kingdom.

Silence.

Lord, in thy mercy:
Hear our prayer.

The Celebrant adds a concluding Collect, or the following Doxology:

For thine is the majesty, O Father, Son, and Holy Spirit; thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory, now and for ever. Amen.

The Mass continues with the Penitential Rite.
