Each week Dennis Keller is posting General Intercessions for the upcoming Sunday liturgies. He is a lay Dominican from the Raleigh/Durham area of North Carolina. He also provides weekly input for our feature Volume II.
General Intercessions
Presider: This is a Sunday for rejoicing. For the Lord is once again as near to us as in his birth two thousand twenty-four years ago in Bethlehem. With confidence in the Lord’s abiding presence, we offer the Father our prayers.
Deacon/ Lector/ Cantor: Please respond: “Come, Lord Jesus.”
1.That Pope Francis, Bishop Luis, clergy,
religious, and lay leadership be mindful of the power of the incarnation in
their loving service and care for their communities, we pray...
Presider: Come Lord Jesus, come. Soften our hearts to accept the wonder and magnificence of your Incarnation as Son of Man while remaining the Son of God. May the light, the understanding, and the revelation of the Father’s overwhelming merciful love soften our hearts to welcome your presence. We ask this, Father, through the ministry and healing of your Son who remains forever with you united by the Holy Spirit.
Response: Amen.
"Blessings on your preaching." (The latest are always listed first.)
