Prayers of Intercession

The Most Holy Body and Blood of Christ (Year A)

7^th June 2026

For the Church, the Body of Christ, that we may grow in devotion to the Eucharist.

Lord in your mercy

For Peace, remembering the countries at war – that world leaders may work together to help everyone.

Lord in your mercy

We pray for our students taking for their exams, and for those receiving Holy Eucharist for the first time and for those recently Confirmed. May God grant them a deep sense of His guiding presence.

Lord in your mercy

For those in need that the community will support with prayers and material aid.

Lord in your mercy

We pray for those in need and struggling in the world, for those who are afraid, for those who are desperate, for those who doubt the presence of God, and for those who don’t know how to pray.

Lord in your mercy

For those who have died, especially, Anne Fehilly, Michael Gavin, Tomasina Harman, Helen Howlett, Diane Kamel, Pamela O’Reilly, and Ron Smales, and all who are grieving.

Lord in your mercy

Prayer for Peace To the Creator of nature and man, of truth and beauty I pray: Hear my voice, for it is the voice of the victims of all wars and violence among individuals and nations; Hear my voice, for it is the voice of all children who suffer and will suffer when people put their faith in weapons and war; Hear my voice when I beg you to instil into the hearts of all human beings the wisdom of peace, the strength of justice and the joy of fellowship; Hear my voice, for I speak for the multitudes in every country and in every period of history who do not want war and are ready to walk the road of peace; Hear my voice and grant insight and strength so that we may always respond to hatred with love, to injustice with total dedication to justice, to need with the sharing of self, to war with peace. O God, hear my voice and grant unto the world your everlasting peace. ( Pope Saint John Paul II)
